NaNoCheaMo
Nov. 7th, 2009 10:10 pmSo I decided that I was going to work on Miledrop this month. Before this my first draft was around 45k, and I've gone through and revised about 10k of that, with a fair bit of work. A wordcount isn't going to accurately represent the new work because I've also been tightening things up as I go. I decided that the effort & new work probably equaled about 25%, so I credited myself about 2300 words for NaNo. Sure I could be further, but then, I'm also on a road trip with lots of social obligations and two 18month old babies.
Yeah, I know real NaNo is new words only, but I'm cheating, so there. Still, I think 25% seems fair, especially since at that rate it'll take me to new words before I'm done with my 50k. Anyone else who is doing the same sorta thing have an algorithm for determing NaNo progress they'd care to share?
