NaNoWriMo: Half Way There, and Livin’ on a Prayer
Posted by rutang5 on November 19, 2006
Whooah, we’re half way there
Livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it – I swear
Livin’ on a prayer
As much as I hate to quote him, Bon Jovi actually got it right on this one. 25,000 words are now on paper, but I’m four days behind.
Here is what I need to do to actually finish on time:
Where I should be: 31,673 words
Where I am: 25,000 words
Deficit: 6,673 words
Days Left: 10
Extra Words Needed Per Day: 667.3
Total Words Needed Per Day to Finish on Time: 2,334
Average words written per day on non-NaNoWriMo tasks: ~3,000
Total words I’ll need to invest over the next ten days: ~5,300
Whoooah, Livin’ on a Prayer! The only thing that will possibly get me through this is my fierce competitive instinct. Well, that and copious amounts of heroin support from friends and family.

Counting today, there are 11 days left. Unless, of course, you are using the new heroin math. Then it’s 10 as you mentioned.

Whoo-hoo, another day left to procrastinate! This is just what I needed to hear…

Is that what the kids are calling it these days? Procrastination?
