Where I Am and Where I'm Going
My poor LJ. *pets it* It's gotten all dusty. I've been either offline hanging out with friends doing writing things (whee, writing things!) and posting regularly to writerfangirl, my writing journal. I have regular NaNo updates. I'm very serious about this NaNo, more serious about it than last year. And I'm chugging along. I'm over the quota I need today and I still have six pages I need to type. That'll number be larger, too because I'm going to be writing more.
It's kind of sad: despite being ahead, I'm feeling behind. There are more than a few people I know who have already surpassed the 50,000. One woman I saw has over 80,000. It makes me want to work twice as hard. I'm only shooting for 20,000 by Monday, but I'm wondering if I should make that 25,000 and then try to finish the novel by next Sunday. :D All written by the 15th or the 16th and then I can get back to the novel I was working on last year. That second one will strictly apply to the autumnwrite. I like knowing that I can do 150,000 in four months. I'm devoting my life to writing and it's a really wonderful thing.
