Update: I have realized that a bunch of the characters that were previously casually mentioned only by first name should also have SURNAMES, so today's wordcount on the #WIP will be pretty low because names are hard. #writing
The story is likely to be ~8k words. It will have at least 22 named characters, 9 of whom will be POV characters at one point or another.

Made wordcount on one project, benchmark on another, first-of-the-month administrivia is pretty much sorted, and the tire pressure warning light on the dash is no longer glowing at me.
I'm going to call Monday good, and shut up shop before something happens to change that.

Ending with 678 new ones today! I expect fewer this weekend with two finals coming up, but maybe I'll surprise myself, we shall see.

I'm aiming to enter a writing contest because it seems like a good way to give myself a realistic deadline (even if I don't end up entering) and realized the wordcount requirement is more-or-less 10,000 words which kind of feels like nothing after writing manically for so long.

Wrote a little over 3.5k! Bumped my monthly wordcount over 20k so that’s a nice feeling. Might have even moved the story forward a bit ^w^)

Macht eigentlich noch irgendjemand von euch beim Novemberschreiben / NaNoWriMo / [hier weitere Namen einfügen] mit?
Ich habe mit dieses Jahr 25k vorgenommen. Einfach weil ich den Prozess im Moment so sehr genieße, dass ich mich mit dem Wordcount nicht stressen möchte.
