NaNoWriMo is now well and truly over. How did I do in my attempt to write 50,000 words of non-fiction in that period?

As it turned out, I managed just over 30,000. I’m reasonably pleased about that. I was fairly busy during the month, including a fair amount of rushing around the country. I also found that when I did get a chance to write the fact that I was doing multiple, discrete pieces tended to cause me to stop when one was done. A typical book review is about 1,000 words, and I really needed to be doing around 2,000 a day to make up for the days when I couldn’t write. Of course with a novel I might end stopping at the end of a chapter, I won’t know until I try.

Anyway, it was an interesting experience, and hopefully I will keep up trying to plow through the backlog of reviews, even though hardly anyone reads them. I do, after all, have a lot left to do.
