I was looking through an old work diary this week and came across my NaNoWriMo daily word counts for 2018. Has any of you ever done NaNoWriMo? For anybody who hasn't heard of it, that stands for National Novel Writing Month and writers all over the world spend November joining in with the annual madness of trying to write 50,000 words in a month.
Both The Surplus Girls and The Surplus Girls' Orphans (subsequently published under my Polly Heron name) were NaNo books. Back in 2017, with The Surplus Girls, I managed for the first time to get past 50,000 words; and then a year later I must have been on a real roll with The Surplus Girls' Orphans, because I wrote over 66,000 words, which is probably the highest monthly word count I've ever achieved. Mind you, by the end of that month I was so tired I could barely manage to scrape together enough brain cells to get the book finished in December!
If you haven't read this series, these are books 1 and 2 and they're both available on Kindle Unlimited. Here is the link to the Amazon page.
