One: I will go insane if I see another word count update at either lj_nanowrimo or nanowrimo. News of your word count does not merit a separate post, and I hope someone will make a Word Count thread. My friends list is like spammed with all that stuff. How annoying.

Two: Whee. NaNoWriMo, I love you!

This year, it was a much more difficult start than I anticipated, though. I tried writing at midnight, deleted my beginning several times, but I eventually went to bed after about eight hundred words. However,  once I woke up, I wasn't happy with it. I started over and got 4K in one version... only to give up on it and go to my original. I deleted a bit of my original chapter, but then easily wrote over it. So far, I am very happy with what's been going on so far, but I already know I'll need a lot of editing.

But still!

I wrote 5,101 words today (not counting the 4K of the other version that I scrapped), so I'm really happy. I definitely think I will reach at least 10K tomorrow, even though I have a research paper to do and a 100 word paragraph for English.

How is everyone else doing at NaNo? Is it going well?

Three: Yeah. That research paper. It's due on Monday. I might work on it a bit tonight, but if not, that'll be my second priority, right after getting my 5K in NaNo. (I know, school before NaNo and all that, but you know, I don't care.) Blah.

Oh, and that paragraph.

That'll take at most a half hour (it'll only take that long because you can't use one word more than once, btw), so it's not that bad.

But blah.

I have written too many words today. This post is incoherent. I think I will go to bed a bit earlier today. Either that or do something mindless.

(I will definitely enjoy that extra hour of sleep tonight...)

well I managed 2774. I also have 2 weeks holiday at the end of the month.

So far, NaNo's going pretty well. I've churned out my minimum of slightly more than 1667 words already, just to make sure I was on schedule. Later on, I plan on going back to it and seeing if I can't maybe write a little more as well.

I had kind of lost interest in my plot over the past month or so, so by the time I sat down to start today, I had no idea if I would even keep the one I'd decided on. However, after actually started, I feel the gears turning again and I think I'm going to like working on this storyline after all. So far so good!

Wow, I'm impressed at how much you've written already!
