***Slowing down (but that's a good thing)***
I'm debating about the way I'm currently focusing my NaNoWriMo efforts. As you know, I've been used timed writing exercises to accomplish the objective. Unfortunately, I've reached the point where the technique has become a hindrance. I'm wading through new territory in the draft that would benefit by a more relaxed, thoughtful, phase. But such a change in pace and speed would severely drop my word count to half or lower. To make up the slowdown, I would have to increase time devoted to the event and, as we all know, time is at a premium.
Decisions, decisions....
Even if you just toss aside entire chapters you've written this month and start over at a much slower pace, you'll have gone through that section of the story once already and have an idea what works, what doesn't.
Best of luck. My novella was about 14,000 words I think and it took me about 4-6 months of on and off again writing to finish.
