Just an update on the Nanowrimo book I was working on during November. I made it to 47,000 words, which isn’t too bad considering how crazy busy it was last month. We spent the last Saturday Christmas shopping, and in between shopping I wrote on a little computer I bought about seven years ago–and it was old when I acquired it.
Long about the 9pm that night, the little computer died, taking my writing with it (it was so old it didn’t even have USB capabilities). It wasn’t the 3k that I needed to reach 50k, but it was something, and I never recouped it over the next day.
But I’m happy with what I accomplished and will be finishing the book this month. I won’t, however, be using a ten-year old computer that might go kaput on me at any minute.
