The Words: 4407 words total for the day.
Even though just yesterday I said I was going to stick to 2500 words per day for a while to avoid running out story before the end of the month, when I got to 2500 today, I realized I was just under 2000 words away from winning. So I did a few more sprints this evening with my daughter and hit 50k! Woohoo!
Tomorrow, I’ll give myself a little break and compensate for so many words today, by just doing one 10-minute sprint or something. Because I definitely have more to write!
The Story: I tried my hand at psychology today and showed some of the childhood of a character who grows up to be a surly, mediocre mercenary. Then we see him as an adult, having to answer for the actions of someone else. Poor guy can’t really catch a break, to be honest.
Total word count: 50,073
Enjoy today’s NaNoToon from this day in 2009!
A Journey of Words 
Congratulations on 50k! That’s an interesting thing you’ve got going on for your character, too.

Thank you! I’ve always thought of this guy as simply a “bad guy,” but getting into his head for this story has rounded him out a lot more (as it always does).
