Banging Head on Wall

My classes ended early today.  I could not bring myself to do a whole lot since I was so tired.  It is already 16:51 and I do not know where the afternoon went.  I feel like I should have been at school since 3 of 5 days I am late.  It was a b-e-a-u-tiful day -- in NOVEMBER -- 70+F in WNY.

I need to write an additional 9,000 words this weekend to catch up; I average 500 words a page, you do the math.  My inner editor is on strike.  My assistant inner editor is screaming at me to fix the shitty writing.  My inner writer takes the streaming conscious approach and constantly gets lost.

Dragging Feet

I am officially 5 days behind in my writing.  I have a novel screaming at me to be written down and I cannot manage to sit and write it down.  Usually I have a few minutes, like now, but I have class soon and I need to finish preparing.  

I am not giving up.

Day 3

Well as of this moment I have half as much as I should to keep a decent pace in running to finish my novel on time. In 15 minutes I will be an additional 1,667 words behind.  Maybe this weekend I can catch up a bit, but none-the-less I will keep plugging along.

2681 words

NaNoWriMo

Ok . . . . begin.

I have only 200+ words so far, but I only sat down to write for a little bit. The most important thing is I started, which was the hardest part.  Trying to figure how to start, those first couple of lines were the worst. I got through it and so far the rest is flowing.  I think I am going to post what I write each day, somewhere, for others to read and to have a back up copy.

Novel

November is almost here, and it is time for National Novel Writing Month. I failed miserably last year, meaning I created characters, but never had time to go further. This year I am determined to at least start writing, and truly hope to get to the 50,000 word mark by the end of the month. One of my college classes is ending just before the start date, so I plan to use the time I spent for that class to write my novel. My other classes are demanding, but I am sure I can write every morning while I drink my coffee and do my homework the night before. I am really excited!  I plan to write the novel I attempted to write last year, Oceania 7712 N.E. (well that is the working title, which might just end up as the subtitle).
