So NaNoWriMo is over and I totally sucked with updating in here huh? Yeah. My grand total which I got somewhere around 11:45 PM last Friday night was 50,057 words. I only had to write just under 10,000 words to get the win that day so better than last year! Still a bunch but better than last year at just over 20,000 the last day ( Read more... )

Yes, I realize we're barely into day one but I had to share my joy because I've reached my word count for the day! If I hadn't eaten all of my chocolate, well, I could have had a treat tonight! No, I kept seeing it, I'd hide it again but then it was too much for me and I ate my chocolate ( Read more... )

So, it's going to be a mad rush to win NaNo again this year. I'd been doing good and catching up last week but on Wednesday there was an accident with my daughter while cutting trees and she ended up with a broken knee cap and a ruptured tendon so she had surgery. And I was with her in the hospital having a terrible time trying to write anything ( Read more... )

Final word count for tonight...16,040. I am still way behind but I'm pretty proud of the last three days worth of writing even with all of the family home and my having to run to town and to the store a few times. Not to mention the fact I did not feel all that great the last two days ( Read more... )

Just finished writing for the day and my word count? 10,436! YAY! See, without the stress of all of the Civil War details and lack of focus because of my unsupportive family I can get lots of writing done! Whew ( Read more... )

Yeah, my word count was at a standstill for a week now but I've figured out what to do! See, I was having all sorts of issues in real life and completely could not focus on NaNo or I've realized it was more that I could not focus on the Civil War NaNoWriMo novel I was writing. So, I am using characters from my NaNo two years ago and writing ( Read more... )

So. *sigh* This year life sucks. Literally. And the only way to help? Remove my family for the rest of the month. Yeah, it has just been freakin' spectacular here. And top it all off? I get fantastically unsupportive hubby home all day Thursday, part of Friday or all day if he decides to take off work, Saturday and Sunday of course, and ( Read more... )

So, my family sucks...royally. They just do not seem to care that I am doing NaNoWriMo and need to write...or need some sort of happy peace. No. I was stuck at 1616 since Monday and today ended up writing 23somethingorother and ending up with a total of 3929. Still behind, still completely annoyed with my family but they're headed to PA to a ( Read more... )

1616. *sigh* Almost made it to the magical number but I figure considering I was unable to make it to our local kick off and write in tonight I did okay. Especially after the horrible weekend I had in real life ( Read more... )

Okay y'all, I am completely, thoroughly, utterly miserable with my story. I'm guessing it is because I took notes and figured out the ending before I started writing word one. I NEVER know how a story will end because of all the twists and turns my characters seem to take and they always lead me in bizarre directions. Well, I HATE my NaNo story ( Read more... )
