I DID IT! Over 50000 words!


Yes! at 10:20 today I finished my novel "Dreamer" which is a working title. I finished with 50501 words on my open office word processor. Although it was 50375 words on the nanowrimo validator. Either way I won!

Distractions

I can find a billion things I have to do. Anything to keep me from writing. Anything to keep my mind from needing to do what I need to do. Blogging. Dishes. Family needs. Snowflakes. Going for a walk. Making dinner. Watching TV. Anything but working on the 14000 words I still need to write in the next three days.

32000 words!


ok so I didn't write on Sunday. I just could not find the spirit to do it. You just have to have a day off. But I did write over 3000 words today. Which really felt good. so now I have 18000 more to go to win. Can I do it in the next five days? After all, I won't be writing on Sunday the 30th. So I have to be done on Saturday. How may words is that per day? About 4000, just so I can go over the top. That is three or four hours a day of writing, three days before Thanksgiving, kids out of school, Robert still broken up and hobbling, Christmas is coming. How am I going to do this? Only with the help of the good kind Lord.

nanowrimo still going


i was hoping to hit 30000 words today, but no. I didn't quite get 3000 today. I think I am going to write tomorrow, even though it is Sunday, this week is a short week and I have 20500 words left to write. This is such a difficult exercise for me. of course I started fresh with a brand new idea, no snowflake or outline or anything, just a blank sheet of paper so to speak.

NaNoWriMo 15995


I am still a little behind, but not too much. I am going to try to write 5000 words tomorrow. I had YW tonight and so only had a little writing time. Yet I did ok. over three thousand words. My plot is practically nonexistent though, but I can work on that when I finish. It's hard, but I am doing it.

I'm at 3300 words, that's 2100 words behind

I'm struggling a little, but I can still catch up. I probably won't write much tomorrow because I am going to SLC with my YW.

Problems


Didn't start writing until 8:30 PM, yup, 8:30 PM. so I only got just over 2000 words. Saturday's measly 450 wasn't any help, so I am still behind. But my story is coming together I think and tomorrow is another day and another day to write 5000+ words. All I need is a couple hours and the words need to keep flowing and I'll have it.

NaNoWriMo ~ looks like I'm a turtle right now.


Wordcount at only 450 words. I wasn't feeling good today and I had so much to do so I only got a little bit done. Hopefully this week will be better and I will get some really good time in. It will be easier on a weekday instead of a weekend.
