NaNo 2018 - Week 1 Round-up

In spite of a later start than intended on Day 7, I still managed to reach 16040 words by midnight! That's the first six stories accounted for, the longest being story number one at 6324 words in total. It's a story for which I'd had a few notes written for quite a while, so it felt sensible to start with that one and see how things worked out. Whether it is any easier work on stories rather than a novel for NaNo I'm not sure, as it's a case of really having to work out a quick plot, outline, and off you go. Of course that's partly because I only made the decision to take part the day before everything kicked-off. If I'd made my mind up earlier and worked out a plan of attack for each story in advance - rather than making them up as I go along - perhaps it would have felt a little easier. I'm still pleased with how things are going though, and more importantly it's good to be writing again.
