My day thus far:
10:50 - Woke up. Longed to continue dream involving taking over a very small ship by means of a gentleman's duel. Rolled about in bed like a manatee caught in a shrimp net.
11:30 - dragged myself out of bed. In the absence of a Discworld novel, had to resort to reading aloud from This Is Your Brain on Music while my mother cooked lunch.
12:00 - Feasted. Intellectually discussed many and varied scholarly subjects.
13:00 - Sat down at computer. Gleefully wrote 600 words. Decided that today I would try to write 10,000 words in hopes of reaching 42k.
13:15 to 13:45 - Responded to NaNo mail from a NaNo friend
15:00 - stared at blank moniter, eyes glazed, drooling and accomplishing nothing. May or may not have added several hundred words to the Discworld wiki.
15:00 - got up unsteadily. Ate chocolate.
15:00 to 17:00 - Returned to bed and rolled about like a beached whale trying to make its way across the beach to steal a child's sandwhich. Picked up notebook and wrote five words which I soon scribbled out.
17:00 - made coffee. Returned to computer and discovered that cat had been sitting on keyboard, typing. Unfortunately cat had not pressed space and had only written one very long word. Removed cat. Composed this journal entry.
Brief summary: In a period of eight hours of wakefulness, I have written a grand total of 600 words.
Briefer summary: ARGH.
Summary of the last few days:
Five days ago, wrote just over 1000 words. Depressing in comparison to my average at the time of 5k/day. Four days ago, did not write. Three days ago, did not write. Two days ago, did not write and felt too ill to do anything at all. I thought that I had jumped this horrible wall when I wrote over 5000 words yesterday, making it to 32k. CLEARLY NOT.
Cursedly,
