Week 1 NaNoWriMo Results: 15,349 words!
Week 1 of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is in the bag. Here are my results as well as worldwide results from all authors…
- Personal Word Count (Week 1 / Days 1 – 7): 15,349 words
- Total Collective Word Count (Week 1 / Days 1 – 7, all novelists): 591,689,307 words
The goal is writing a novel with a minimum 50,000 words in 30 days (November 1 – 30). But my personal goal is 75,000+ words.
In case you just tuned in, my project is: Tevye and the Streets of Gold, the long-awaited sequel to Fiddler On The Roof.
My original novel is inspired by the stories of Sholem Aleichem, the Yiddish writer whose Tevye the Dairyman stories also birthed the original Fiddler.
I’ve now completed the First Draft for seven chapters – 15,000+ words.
Now, on to Week Two. Hope to finish at 30k+!
Stay tuned…
