Ok, I’m a little late this week, but that means I have exactly one week to go. And right now, my word count is at 43,280 which puts me at almost three days ahead of the whole thing!!

I’ve been averaging about 2000 words these past few days (except when I had the headache), but I’m a bit worried about the last week. For one, my family is here, and that tends to bring my headcount down. For another, I’m going to Kagoshima from the 26th to the 28th. I haven’t decided if I’m going to bring my computer or not.

In other news, I gathered up the courage to share the first two chapters on my Dayre. Not many responses at all… although one person did camp my day (i.e. pushed a button to say they want to be alerted when I updated it).

Anyway, graph for the week:

Some words from this week:

Although there was no reason for Amiko to obey Hiroto, she still made her way to the wishing well early in the morning. There was no harm, her brain said, in listening to what he had to say. Perhaps he was here to apologise. Or maybe, another part of her brain said, she was still under his sway, just like when they were dating.

“Morning,” Hiroto said as he strolled towards her. Amiko nodded in response.

“What do you want?”

Hiroto frowned, “I liked you better before. You were such a pliable girl.” When Amiko didn’t rise to the bait, he continued talking, “I need you to help me win Ada’s heart.”

“I’m already helping you. I’m giving you information and advice, aren’t I?”

“It’s not enough. It only took me two weeks to make you fall in love with me, it’s been over a month, maybe two for her and still nothing,” Hiroto raged a little at that. He had never been patient. The shadow-student president of the Academy might appear kind and self-controlled, but he had always been selfish and he always would be.

How’s NaNo going for everyone? Any validate theirs so far?
