nano question
Nov. 8th, 2009 03:09 pmSo, obviously my efforts at NaNoWriMo this year have been slightly hampered by the fact that, um, I spent nearly the first week of it in Japan. However, I'm also running into a bit of a problem because this year I've decided to count whatever creative writing I do... and most of that, at the moment, is work on The Fic of Doom (AKA That Hellboy Fic I've Been Working on For a Long Time). At the moment, I have about 23,000 words on it.
So here's the thing - because of the way I write (editing as I go), I don't really know how I can keep track of what's *new* on the fic, as opposed to what I wrote before. So how should I go about counting the work on that doc into the NaNo count?
[Poll #1482640]
I was going to include "Dear god, you're still working on that thing?" as an option, but since I'm genuinely curious what people think and wanted to use radio boxes to prevent more than one option getting tagged, I decided to leave it off. I promise to do something with fun ticky-boxes later in the month. ;)
