NaNoWriMo Update Two: Day 12 And Things Are Getting Tough
Things are getting a little tougher, thanks to the joy of working eighty-seven bajillion hours a week. Still keeping up at a good pace, thankfully, but finding time that I'm not wanting to just sleep myself into oblivion is pretty rough.
That's about all the update I have for you as of right now... Maybe more in the morning. For now, I'm going back to trying to string words into semi-coherent sentences.
NaNoWriMo Update One: We’re Off
Just finished the first chapter and 1,289 words of my novel that I'm doing for National Novel Writing Month, and have the first three chapters pretty solidly planned out. Compare this to the past few years, where I'd just be sitting down to write and then get distracted by some YouTube video of a hamster on a piano. Progress: Yep, I got it.
Sure, I'm still about 400 words away from the daily goal of 1,666 words (the requirement to complete the challenge is 50,000 words by the end of the month), but I think I can make that up tomorrow. For now, it is time to pass out.
G'night, internet.
A Time Machine Would Make Procrastination More Fun
There are things I say I'm going to do every year. Like remember Grandparent's Day. When I say stuff like that, though, I forget to look up when Grandparent's Day is, and thus I usually forget it until my mom says something like "Hey, it's Grandparent's Day, call your Grandparents." And I say I will, but I never do, because I'm a terrible grandchild.
Anyway.
Thanks to the never-ending Facebook updates of one of my friends, I have decided to attempt to complete NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month if, like me, you think "NaNoWriMo" is something that could only come out of your mouth if you're having a stroke. I've tried to do this in years past, once even getting so far as opening Word to start typing, but I've never gotten through it... Mainly because I forget that it's going on until November 23rd. But I'm gonna give it another shot this year.
After all, it's like my Aunt Agnes always said: "If at first you don't succeed, you're doomed to continue trying and never realize that you're in a vicious cycle of failure, so why even try in the first place? Now where the hell did I put my gin?!"
