The first 5,000 words on a NaNoWriMo project used to be the toughest for me. The first time I attempted writing one two years ago, I didn’t make it to that point until day 6, and I don’t think I was able to write any more after that. This time, I managed to cross that plateau before the end of day 3. It helps that I did a big chunk of my writing (2,500 words) on Sunday, and filled in the rest later. My novel-in-the-works currently looks like a bunch of scenes barely strung together by dialogue and line breaks, but I plan to flesh it out and connect them together after everything’s been verified…if I survive that long.

The other secret to my success? I can type really fast.
