Why both in one? Because there’s really not much to tell about Friday. I accomplished maybe 300 words, and yes, I’m pretty ashamed of it. It’s unfortunate, but I guess everyone has their days of “yeah, well, about actually accomplishing something…”. Friday was one of mine.
But last night? Last night was a good couple thousand word night. But more than that, it unveiled a little bit of plot. And it was about damn time that a little bit of tension finally weaved its way into the story. After all, smooth sailing for a few thousand words, even, seems utterly unacceptable. My only problem now? How to fit in some action. It’s all pretty slow happening right now. I need to speed it up, but have yet to figure out how. Honestly? Trusting my characters thus far has not lead me down a terrible, scary path of no return. So I will be writing throughout the day, in between unfortunate spurts of homework and studying.
I am still aiming for my lofty, lofty goal of 20,000 by the end of the night. It might mean another past midnight today, but I think it would be worth it to see two-fifths of my novel on the page. Well, two-fifths of my 50,000 words, anyway.
Does anyone happen to have a “Pause Schoolwork until the end of the month of November” button that I could borrow for Nano? It would be much appreciated.
Well, off to church, back to the Burg, and then more furious writing. I may very well not leave my dorm today. It is entirely plausible that I will be living off of the honey roasted peanuts, andes candies mints and life cereal that make up part of my NaNoWriMo survival kit. Oh, and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.
