Writing Speed Stats
I did an experiment today. I set a timer for an hour and wrote constantly through that whole hour just to see how many words I could get out and get a better judgement of how long I will need to dedicate to writing per day to reach my Nano goal. It was really illuminating! Here are the stats:

Writing time: 1 hour
First 30 minute word count: 1326 words
Second 30 minute word count: 1280 words
Total word count: 2606 words
Average words per minute: 43.4333

So, it looks like I did slow down at the end, which is probably due to a few reasons. First, I was running out of things to write about, and second, my fingers were getting a little worn out *Pthb* I write all day for work too, so carpel tunnel might be in my future. I'm not too worried though, so long as this book gets written *Laugh*

This writing session this morning also pushed me over the halfway point in my practice Nano! I have over 25K words written in October (only counting my blog and OctoPrep assignments)! Yay! That's an accomplishment, I think! Only one day late too. *Bigsmile*

Now, time to tackle this Wodehouse thing *Surfing*
