This is the fifth time I've gotten to 50,000 words, and I have to say that it gets easier each time. I still have at least 10K more words just on the story I'm currently developing and I have several sub-plots that I never fully fleshed out, so I can see this being a bit larger even still. Editing will cull it down, but the point is that each National Novel Writing Month gets easier. Hopefully the editing will get easier too.
The other nice thing? I have some great support. I have about 20 writing buddies and some people I see via Facebook. I had less or neither of these support features when I wrote the first few times. Makes me wonder how much they played a part. I will say that the local Facebook chapter is far more prolific than my writing buddies. I had two writing buddies who finished before I did, the others are still 10K or more shy. I saw many, many of the Facebookers had hit 50K a week or more ago.
Onward to Script Frenzy in the Spring and NaNoEdMo! (Seriously, I didn't just make that up. It's an even sillier sounding anagram than NaNoWriMo, but I'm not in charge).
