Progress: Getting Back on Track
SLACKING LIKE A CRAZY PERSON. I HAVE 39,600 WORDS. WHY HAVE I ONLY WRITTEN ONCE IN THE LAST 7 DAYS??
The 11k last Monday was a good excuse for 1-2 days of break but not for the whole week! I wrote some, less than 2k anyway, once last week and I don't even remember the day... Getting back on track today because I can easily win this thing!
(That last one: Paul Baribeau isn't the reason I didn't write, since his show wasn't until 8:30, but I somehow took that as an excuse not to write anyway...)
I have a good (offline) friend who isn't doing Nanowrimo but who has been texting every 1-3 days asking about my Nano progress. That's a pretty awesome thing to have during a month like this. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to say "words?" and then for me to remember to stop doing whatever I'm doing and sit down to write.
This week is going to be hectic because I have family coming in and staying at my apartment for the holiday, and I haven't cleaned all month because of all the writing I actually did earlier this month ;) My plan is to write during work the 4 days I'm working this week so that if I don't have time after work I at least have SOME words out! Dylan isn't even halfway finished! Andy only needs maybe three more chapters (and then extensive rewrites later) and Luke probably only needs one more day's worth of writing, which I'll do Sunday after everyone is gone. Coming together pretty nicely, but since I've been slacking so much with Dylan's part, he's really lagging behind.
So, speaking of writing during work... :)
Edit:
Passed 40k! Wrote a whole 1,220 words that will be deleted later (or at the very least, probably rewritten when I go through my rewriting :p)... but hey! I just broke 40k, and I'm in the home stretch :) Even with 'skeleton writing' every day (which is sadly what I end up doing at work so I don't spend too much time on it :p) I only need about 7.5 more days of this -- with 8 working days left and that whole Sunday I mentioned... Pretty excited, guys. It's been a while since I've won! Just gotta stick to it :)
