I took part in NaNo during November last year, and as anyone I complained to can tell you, I struggled to get my words everyday because of the pressure. For NaNo, I had to write 1,667 words a day, and weirdly, once I'd got past that amount, I could just keep writing with no problem and without thinking about my word count.
I think that is my mentality for WriYe - although my year target is 250k (50k of which will hopefully be NaNo in November), I only have to write roughly 685 words a day, and I have been writing more than that daily.
Maybe it's because there's less pressure or perhaps it's because I like my novel.
I have started a novel from my series (they're not sequels so it didn't matter what order I wrote them in!) and am enjoying it. My MC is quite sarcastic and a bit of a cow - and she is so much fun to write! Coming up with character names for my novel was quite easy as well - the names all mean something, and for each character, there's something that their name should mean, so I really like that.
I may do some character sketches later, even though my drawing is positively awful :D I'm tempted to make a novel cover as well but haven't quite decided what I want it to look like, so we shall see.
Word count of 5th January: 4692
Words left to write: 245,308 (too many xD)
