So I meant to post about Nanowrimo yesterday but...I did not.
Anyway, this year I'm trying my hand at portal fantasy, partly because I had an idea for one but mostly because I've never attempted portal fantasy before and Nano is the time of year when I try to stretch outside of my comfort zone. (I also stole my main characters and title from last year's trainwreck attempt at sci-fi/fantasy fusion.) That said, my main goal this time around is to pace myself and actually reach 50K. Because last year was a trainwreck. I've set a personal goal of 3K per day, at least to start with, in the hope that it will a) give me enough of a head start that I won't completely fall behind if something comes up later in the month (like last year's deathplague), and b) not burn me out completely by the second week. I'm also making the most out of Write Or Die and its fullscreen capability; right now I'm working exclusively in Stimulus mode but I suspect soon I'll move into Consequences mode and eventually Kamikaze.
Wordcount for day two: 6,233
Good luck to everyone writing this month!
