Week Two of NaNoWriMo often gets a bad rap.
In previous years, Week Two has been blamed for everything from incidents of spontaneous limb-sloughing to global potato famines. We're afraid we've contributed to Week Two's poor brand image by yammering on and on about the challenges of this phase of the noveling adventure. We've said that getting over the Week Two Hump is the hardest and most important thing you'll do in November, and that if you can power out of Week Two's orbit with your word count intact then you're practically guaranteed a victory. Because Week Two can be so spirit-testing.
We were wrong. So, so wrong.
Thanks to a sizable grant we received this morning from the Week Two Tourism Bureau and Chamber of Commerce, we've come to understand that Week Two is actually the best week of NaNoWriMo. From here on out, we would like to echo the Week Two Tourism Bureau's sentiments that Week Six is actually the hardest week of the event. For reasons that we will articulate as soon as we understand them.
In the meantime, keep up those great word counts! Congrats to everyone who dug deep and rose to the challenge to be at 15,000 by bedtime last night. We rocked it!
Loving Week Two!
