2229 words written today, bringing me up to a total 4372 words so far. I'm underachieving at overachieving, but man it feels good to keep a nice, steady pace. I'm enjoying this so far. :D

reading about the myriad roles of naval personnel,.

Ain't that the truth. I think research has taken up the biggest part of my "writing time" thus far.

My 'vague planning, barest fragment of an outline' method of writing is working tremendously well so far. 3660 words today. At no point have I found myself at a loss of what to write - on the contrary, I just gain more and more ideas as I go along.

Sure, I might crash and burn at some point, but it's been very fun so far. Extensive, loving planning can go die in a ditch all I care.

1400 words so far today. I hope to break 2000 at a minimum.

Todays count: 0. This is why I did 4000 yesterday :/

Had a piddling 82 words by the end of yesterday, but once I grabbed a name and went with it, I churned out much more in the last 3 minutes.

Word. Stephen King's methodology of just diving in with a barebones idea works wonders for those of us who can't stand planning things out beyond vague notions.

Only added 1200 (exactly!) words today, but I'm still averaging 2k per day from yesterday's boost. Hopefully I can get a good push in tomorrow, but my work schedule isn't terribly conducive to high output the next few days. I should be in good shape if I can avoid falling very far behind before Wednesday, though.

Got my goal of 2k words per day and still have some writin' in me yet. That's a first.

Only 413 words today. Once I get past this boring introductory segment things should hopefully move much faster.

Take my advice with a grain of salt, but you could just establish in your head canon as to what happens during the 'boring segment', and skip ahead to what you want to write; you can fill in the blanks later. NaNoWriMo is all about the word count, and no one said you had to write from front to back. If you get bored writing what averages out to being somewhere a little under two published pages, it's probably a good idea to shake things up a bit.

That's just my two cents though, do whatever's best for you. :P

I bought myself a single beer and set it on the desk next to me. I will be allowed to open and drink it only once I have met my word count for the day. Two green bars on the stats page. I want that beer. I try to get my subconscious mind to link the act of writing with the reward of drinking the beer. It doesn't quite work. I know too much.

I update my word count after every paragraph. I am not in the mood to write tonight. But I want those green bars, and I want my beer.

At last. 5,303 words. I am over 10% of the way done with this book (assuming I stop at 50,000). Come here, Budvar, my friend. I am going to drink you.
