NaNoWriMo Log, Day 22

Day 22
It is... 3:07AM, so I guess it's techinically Day 23 of NaNoWriMo. Whatever. Either way you look at it, "here I sit on a field of victory," though my well-earned comforts are four hours of sleep and a nice lunch tomorrow during the blaze of work I've got to get done. Perhaps all of this will sink in more fully when I wake at 7:30AM, feeling like a pile of poo. This being: despite a full day of work, getting teased about a guy I just met named Adrian for like 3 hours, and feeling dog-tired, I have finished NaNoWriMo, on this 23rd day of November. 50,064 words, baby. Oh YEAAAAAAH.

Total words for the day: 3,049 words
Total word count:... WTF? Why am I doing this? I won! I WON!

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 21

Day 21
It took me forever to get to 3,000 words tonight, what with walking to and from choir practice, watching the West Wing, and eating food so as to not faint from lack of nourishment. So close to the end now... :)


Total words for the day: 2,970 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 20

Day 20
It is impossible to explain how tired I am of this novel. All of the end scenes are stuck, drowning in my brain fluids, and they. Will. Not. Come. Out. Especially not when all I want to do is watch television and do the work piling up on my proverbial desk. Lost, you must wait! As Time Goes By, one day we shall be together again, as we once were. The West Wing: have no fear. I love you all. BLAH. Wrote today as much as I freaking could after watching Death Proof with my sister and taking a four-hour nap. Ah, novel avoidance. I am so good at you!

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 19

Day 19
I spent the whole day with Gran and Dad shopping, then went to church, then came home, ate dinner, and then left to go to Walmart. By the time 11:30pm rolled around, I was dog-tired and only prepared to do one thing: watch SNL. I did not write my words for the day (because I am a silly-billy cottonheaded ninnymuggins who trips at the finish line) and only managed a scant four hundred. BLEH.

Total word count: 40,452 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 18

Day 18
Wrote laaaaaaaaate at night because I spent the day with the daycare kids and then the night playing games with Courtney and Mom, taking a dessert run to Dairy Queen, and watching television. I am bad. But I wrote all my words! :)

-Made it to 40,000 words-

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 17

Day 17
Sleepy, but wrote and wrote all of my word count goal. Yayness.

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 16

Day 16
Tried to write a little before tonight's childcare and a little during, but Kaili was so distracting, with her adorableness, that I stopped trying. We played Trouble and colored and yelled things at Dan to see if he could hear us through his television-watching haze. Then I came home and wrote the heck out of my words. :)

-Made it to 35,000 words-

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 15

Day 15
Wrote a bunch during a Lonely Write-In at school for 3 hours and then more at home. Finished in time to watch an episode of the West Wing. Then I was tired. So I went to sleep.

Total words for the day: 4,317 words
Total word count: 32,600 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 14

Day 14
Goodness, I just can't seem to get out of bed in time for... you know, morning or whatever. I met my personal word goal for the day of 2500 words written and actually was able to write a little more despite a rocking back ache, a sore throat from singing with a cold and asking, time after time, for my adorable choir to hush, and the desire to do anything, anything, anything but write today. I try not to focus on all that is still left to happen in my novel and just live, by God, in the now. Tomorrow I hope to reach the summit of 35,000 words. May not happen, but at least I will definitely see 30,000 words. Still have my fingers crossed for a NaNo-free Thanksgiving. :)

Total words written today: 2,948 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 13

Day 13
Still felt like death on a Triscuit, but I made myself write and reach my goalie-oalie of 25,000 words. Then I promptly bought my halfway reward. As I type this, I am shocked. Halfway finished with a novel... Gloriosky!

Total words for the day: 2,856 words
Total word count: 25,068 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 12

Day 12
TOM messed me the eff up, so I was laying in bed, kind of wishing I wasn't alive all day. Only wrote 200 words and surprised I wrote that many... Ugh.

Total words for the day: 200 words
Total word count: 22212 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 9, 10, & 11

Day 9
Stayed home from helping Mom with childcare and wrote as much as I could. Made it just barely to the my word count goal for the day.

Day 10
Has a sweet writing session in the magically retro lounge at USMH and wrote almost all of my words there. Had another quick session after doing some neglected homework.

Day 11
I'm bad. I was super freaking tired after having a full day of work while still under the thumb of my disgusting cold (and movie night with the kids!) so I didn't write anything. FAIL.

Total Word Count: 22,067 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 8

Day 8
Felt even crappier (if possible) today. But Dan was cool and got me my favorite soda mix (one third Cherry Coke, two thirds Coke Zero) from Sam's Club and it helped fuel me into a writing rage! Wrote the death scene aka Most Unnaturale Murder.

Total words for the day: 2218 words
Total word count: 18,327 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 7

Day 7
Too effing tired, and so, the word count has suffered. Ah. Poor word count. Got up late, nursed by cold, went to choir practice, came home, ate dinner, wrote as much as I could, watched some good ol' West Wing, and now... bed. :)

Total words for the day: 793 words
Total word count: 16,017 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 6

Day 6
WOOOOOO!!!! Wrote over four thousand words in a little over three hours, even though I was sick, and in spite of a tasty lunch at El Ranchero's and an unplanned remnants trip to Joann Fabrics. And now I get my sweet present, the Philadelphia brass ensemble Christmas CD. HAHA! :))))))))

Total words for the day: 4,395 words
Total word count: 15,223 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 5

Day 5
Woke up feeling terrible. I've got a cold (which is funny, 'cause the NaNoWriMo poster I've got says on Day 5, "catch the flu - fall behind"). I only wrote a little today, because I felt so crummy. Hoping to catch up tomorrow and still make it to 15K by Sunday's end!

Total words for the day: 500 words
Total word count: 11,320 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 4

Day 4
Got up early (yay!), had some coffee and did a little bit of writing before Mom left to drive Courtney around, leaving me as sub with the kiddos. I wrote a bunch before Courtney' candle party--which turned out not to be a candle party, 'cause Tammy had to cancel because of personal injury--and then a bunch after. Made it to my word count goal of the day. :)

Total words for the day: 2007 words
Total word count: 10,820 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 3

Day 3
Woke up late again (still EPIC FAIL), and went to a meeting at church which I had hoped I could write during, but listening to all those people talk was super distracting, so I only wrote 200 words then. When I came home, I put the kettle on the stove for peach tea, lit my special super glow-y PartyLite pillar candles, and put in a CD of classical music. An hour and a half later, I reached my word count goal for the day. :)

Total words written for the day: 2,395 words
Total word count: 8,504 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 2

Day 2

Slept in late (FAIL) because I watched a buncha episodes of Lost the night before. Buuuuuttttt, I wrote a LOT today, from 3:00PM to 4:30PM, a little bit at Recovery Kids, and then from 8:30PM to 10:00PM in my room. Great second day, too. :) Plan to get up at 6 in the morning so I can type my words early before all my work at church. Also: Mom made pot roast. Delicious.

Total words for the day: 2,427 words

NaNoWriMo Log, Day 1

Day 1
Did a magnificent writing sprint from 12am-1:30am and wrote entire daily word count, thanks to the wonderful Spotify which holds like every freaking song on the planet. :) If even half of November goes as smoothly as this, I think I can make it!

-Later-
Had a write-in with myself at school and wrote a bunch more. Lots of fun, so I'll have to try it again. What a great first day of NaNoWriMo! :)
