So. At the end of this day, November will be two thirds over. That means I should have completed two thirds of my November novel. By the end of this day, to be on track to write 50,000 words by the end of the month, I should have written a total of at least 33,333 words. (Technically, of course, [math]\displaystyle{ 33,333.bar{3} }[/math], but let's be generous and round down.) Heck, on the first day I wrote more than the daily minimum, at 2,218 words (as opposed to the minimum of [math]\displaystyle{ 1,666.6 }[/math].) If I kept up that rate, then by the end of today I'd be at 44,360 words—not quite to the 50,000-word goal, but pretty darn close.

Sadly, however, I have not kept up that rate. After the first day, my average word count dropped considerably. That is to say, it dropped by over two thousand. By 2,218, to be exact. Yeah, to zero. I haven't written anything. (Well, I've written; I'm writing this blog post right now; but I haven't written anything further...

This blog post is not untitled. This blog post has a title. That title is "Untitled". That title, "Untitled", refers not to this blog post, which has a title, but to something else, which currently does not. And is therefore untitled. Unlike this blog post, which is not untitled, because it has a title, which is "Untitled".

So, at the time I write this it is November 2, which means it is Day Two of, uh, NovelEmber, or Writing Month, or Novel Quest, or the November Writing Challenge, or... The Event Formerly Known as NaNoWriMo. (Oh, hey, speaking of Writing Month, that site finally seems to be functional. So I'll probably "officially" join that event too.) Which means that by today, to be on track with the 50,000-word goal (and honestly 50,000 words is short for a fantasy novel and I expect the final novel to be significantly longer) I should have written at least 1,667 words. (Well, that's...

Anyone who has read many of these blog posts will have noted that I often say I'm going to do things that I don't actually end up doing. At least not within the time frames I say I'm going to do them in. The reason for this, of course, is not because I am intentionally lying. It is because I keep overestimating my intelligence and industry and forgetting how stupid and lazy I am. And/or possibly executive dysfunction might have something to do with it, but it might not; as I've mentioned before, I strongly suspect that I have ADHD, but I've never actually been tested for it so I don't know for sure.

Anyway, another item has been added to the list. The list of things I said I was going to do that I didn't end up doing. Which, like my to-do list I've repeatedly referenced, is not an actual list written down anywhere. I'd said in a previous blog post that while the [https://wongery.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55752 poll to...
