Day Fifteen Word Counts

[dobbin477]

It is Day Fifteen! Hooray, week 2 hell week is over! Hopefully everyone is having a great start to the NaNo week. It is the middle of the week and weekend isn't far off. So happy to say, weekend means more catch up time! How did you do today?

1723 for me today. Just over 4 hours drive for me again today and last time writing in office for about ten days.

Well done! When are you going to Israel?! Ahh, if I could stand the plane ride, I want to go next year with the Buffalo JFed! So jealous. Take pictures. Post to Facebook. Drug me with klonopin and take me with you!

Fly out on Saturday morning, arrive at the end of Shabbat to the hotel. Pick up on Sunday to start the Israeli working week. This is a pure work trip. I did do begin NaNo one year in Israel, and have done some birdwatching there.

Not really done anything touristy there, just mainly over for work. I have been there about half a dozen or so times. Shortest trip was less than 36 hours in the country.

Regardless, it sounds nice, just to get away. Some of my favorite vacations have taken place nearly entirely in my hotel room (not for dirty things, either! :P). Just getting out of my house and a change of scenery can do wonders for depression.

I wanted to get at least 5K written, but only managed to squeak out 3,695. Here's what I did while I was SUPPOSED to be writing:

- Googled NKOTB in swimsuits (pertinent to my story which is, of course, real person FAN FICTION!)

- Found a picture of Joey McIntyre in his underwear from one of the NKOTB cruises and laughed like an idiot

- Read up on NKOTB cruise tips

- Googled how to prevent seasickness (number one reason why I will NEVER take a cruise)

- Signed up for NKOTB VIP Nation Presale alerts

- Googled ingredients in Fireball whiskey (again for the story -- I don't drink, so yeah)

- Realized I gained 16 followers on Twitter since tweeting about #NaNoWriMo

- Signed up for VIP Block Nation Fan Club membership and purchased two additional shirts

- Bought this year's NaNoWriMo Nutritional Facts travel mug

- Took a picture of my cat with his tongue out

- Made this awesome list of things I'm doing instead of writing and tweeted it

I think that's it. Yay me? :\

Yay for the writing and yay for the list. It had me snort air out my nose a couple of times (my RL LMAO equivalent).

Always difficult deciding between research and writing. I typically avoid research and skip over items/objects if I can not think on them. So car is a car, dog is a dog, if I do not know the make or breed.

Yeah, I keep it classy when I'm procrastinating. :D

Today's research went much better, though I accidentally on-purpose found Jordan Knight's address and started googling homes to buy near his in Milton, MA (AGAIN, for my story! I swear. Besides, the cheapest homes int that area are upwards of $400K, and I can't afford that), but it really helped move the story along and I managed to write 6K+ today. :D
