The good news: I have hit the halfway point at 25,000 words!
The bad news: I'm still a little behind.
Current word count: 26,238
I'm slowly but surely catching up. I know I will make it, but that last few days will probably be a big push. I think I'm doing pretty good considering I've had two birthday parties and a Thanksgiving dinner so far this month. I have another Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, hopefully after that I will be cleared to write til my keyboard goes out.
How is it going for you guys? Anyone actually hit 50,000 yet?

NaNoWriMonday Update!
Hey guys! sorry the post is so late. I was too busy writing last night to remember to do this post!
Anyways, I have 12,079 words so far. I'm a little behind, but I plan on getting caught up over the next few days. I worte like a crazy person yesterday.
Some great news: I have a new found direction. Things have FINALLY clicked into place and I know how the book I'm working on and how the series is going to end!! I am so excited about that. I think anyone who reads the Mystic Stones Series will LOVE how it ends.
I struggled for a few days because I was feeling inspired in a different way than writing inspired. It's something that I deal with all the time. I start a project and then I just have an idea or a desire to do something else. Eventually, I was able to vent the other creative side of me and then I put down about 4,000 words after that.
So, how are you doing? Have you gotten stuck? How did you get unstuck, or have you yet? A great way to get inspiration or seek help is to go to the forums! NaNoWriMo is about helping out each other!

NaNoWriMonday My weekly update on how it's going!
Okay, so I've been pretty good. My current word count is 7362. I made my goal on Day 1. Didn't do any writing on Day 2. Day 3 and Day 4 I played catch-up.
So far it is going well. I did run into a little snag when I was trying to write a scene that I hadn't fully researched, but I used the AWESOME forums and posted a question after finding nothing in a google search. Less than 30 minutes later I had an answer. Which is amazing because it was a really difficult and specific question about infrared and amethysts, so THANK YOU to the man who answered my question, you rock!
So, NaNoWriMo is definitely helping me get a good start on book #3. I can't wait to see what the rest of the month holds for me. I did a really basic outline that I'm sticking to pretty well so far, but I usually hit about 10,000 words before I come up with other directions for stories to go.
How are you coming along on NaNoWriMo? Remember, any word count is better than no word count at all!
