959/25029.  so i made my goal of 25000, which is definitely a lot better than nothing.  and i will keep it up.  the nano stats tell me that at this rate i will finish on december 30, lol.  we'll see.  the next thing i'm going to do is to make a new file and arrange things in something approaching chronological order so i have the foggiest notion ( Read more... )

first of all, congratulations to my friends who've won nano so far or are on the brink.  very impressive.  *blows noisemaker*  *tosses confetti ( Read more... )

well, not that i was actually gone - what i mean is giddyup is gone so i have resumed my love affair with my laptop.  i wrote the first day he was here and that is it.  so i'm at about 21000 words atm.  i would like it if i could get to 25000 - that would be halfway to 50000, which would be a nice round number.  but even if i don't, at least i've ( Read more... )

1369/19514  i'm happy i wrote 1000+, though i'm still roughly 2500 behind on my revised, less ambitious goal of 30000 words.  hm.  well, if i revise down to 20000, that one i'm pretty sure i can make.  lol ( Read more... )

931/18145  after a few days of no writing to speak of, i managed nearly 1000 words today, so yay!  thanks for the writing vibes, melenka , i think they helped, and i still have a few left for tomorrow.  :D  and yeah, i decided the grocery outing worked so well that today i sent her to the laundromat.  *giggles*

i might have written more today had i started ( Read more... )

577/17214  better than nothing, right?  i'm a little worried because i've written the last scene that i actually had a specific idea about, so - well, i guess if i get stuck, i can always send her to the laundromat like i joked about the other day.  and maybe something will come to me as soon as i turn out the light and try to go to sleep - that's ( Read more... )

1033/16564   huge thanks to everyone who left words of encouragement for me after last night's little meltdown - i really appreciate all the support.

today i took mimi's advice and just wrote without thinking about the numbers.  :)  it helps that after i knocked off last night i had a little more idea of things to add to yesterday's scene.  and i ( Read more... )

i had a lovely weekend.  did not do any writing so far.  i suppose it's possible i will do some tonight.

yesterday i had a lovely day, after which i came home, fell asleep on the sofa, and then dragged myself into bed.  today i'm less exhausted, perhaps because i slept for some crazy amount last night.  :D

i am so grateful for having the opportunity ( Read more... )

zero words.  lol.

but i had a lovely day at my training.  my favorite thing from today's lesson is the notion that there's no such thing as wandering away from one's true path, meaning the things that one might think of as wrong steps are really also just a part of one's path.  i love the notion that it is impossible to wander off one's true path.  ( Read more... )

1073/13199.  i've been keeping up with my 1000 words a day minimum so i feel good about that.  part of me feels like i should push harder, but most of me feels like it's okay to keep to a saner goal that doesn't make me feel so crazy.  and i think i wrote another scene that will actually be in the novel!  hooray!  that's two in a row.  :D ( Read more... )
