The first 10K !


Finally, I managed to reach the first personal milestone - my nanostats bar graph touched the 10K line! Yohooo !!


This is turning out to be a bigger challenge than I initially thought. There have been momemnts of self-doubt. Even times when I thought of throwing in the towel.
But I have somehow managed to reach 10K !!

So another Yohooo !!
As 15th November is nearing, I should have been closer to 25K than 10K. Need a good couple of real good days of write-a-thons to make up now.

Its all uphill from here :-)

Me too !

Official NaNoWriMo 2007 Participant
Read about NaNoWriMo in an internal blog post and signed up on an impulse. So what's the deal ? You attempt to write 50,000 words or more in the 30 days of November - that's all. As the web site conveys, the preference given to 'quantity over quality' is a refreshing change from some of the other endeavours that one pursues and the expectations out of them.

Starting a day late, I now need to type like crazy. The preparations of the upcoming quality audits, festivals (Diwali, arguably the biggest festival of India) and 6 month old kid at home do not help the cause.

Let me make it clear - I am not complaining about the last 2 points. Diwali brings a few holidays along with it which should mean more time to type :) And Vidush's smile can launch a more than a thousand novels !

Anyways, now that I have joined the madness I better figure out a method to it !!
Or should I even bother about the method ?
