Did it! 50,029 words in 30 days of a fantasy adventure novel that now has over 60,000 words in total. I'm about 2/3 of the way through the story I think, or a little under.
If I write 201 more words I can beat 2009 buuut maybe I'll just watch TV now.

I last hit 50k in 30 days in 2009, I would be fine if this is an every ten years thing.

Tired of writing dialogue? Have your protagonist end up in a place where nobody speaks the same language as them for a while. Describing conversations this way also helps with wordcount, at this late late hour.

The internet went out for 11 hours today and I wrote 3,414 words. Still not sure about a pattern.

Yesterday I lost about 200 words because computers, but I logged them anyway, and today I'm going to rewrite that paragraph and claim it again as compensation. I think this is fine.

The internet went out for about an hour yesterday, and besides some time spent trying to debug the problem I wrote about 600 words before it came back on. There's a lesson here but I can't quite place it...
