I’m having a bit of trouble with my NaNoWriMo Word Count, which actually translates into me having problems writing as much as I should to meet my 100,000 word goal for November.
I went into a write-in tonight (at this point, yesterday evening), and got some awesome writing done! I came home raring to go, and my hubby <3 was still awake. So I sat with him for a few minutes, then when he went to bed I remembered that the reason I came home instead of going to see a movie was because I had two new NetFlix selections on top of our entertainment center. Which I need to clean.
Badly.
So I watched the second half of the mini-series, Andromeda Strain (which is of course is on TV today/yesterday - it flipping figures). And then, so I could write, I put in a background movie of Starship Troopers, also because the second NetFlix selection I have is Starship Troopers 2.
Have I gotten any writing done? NO!
My DWC (daily word count) when I started November was 3334. Now I’m getting almost 5000 DWC every couple of days, but can I catch up so I’ll only have a measely 3334 per day? NO!
To catch up by the 21st, I would need to write more than 6000 words per day. I seriously hope I can do it, but I need help.
Oh, I see the horrible awesomness of Word Press. It counts the words in my post for me. As of right NOW: 248 words and counting.
That’s 250+ words I could have just added to my novel.
*pulls hair*

You voted, you really voted!
Whether you voted for “the right guy”, “the other guy”, or Ralph Nader, your voice was heard. I can’t wait to see what the turnout percentage was, and I hope it blasts away previous years - or at least four years ago. :)

Hey, kids, get out there and VOTE! I don’t even care if you vote for “the other guy”, as long as you vote.

It’s 10:14 p.m. local time. I woke up this morning at the stroke of midnight to get in some typing, and I ended up writing two words:

NaNoWriMo 2008 BEGINS!
I have no plot, no characters, and a word count goal for myself that is double the official goal required to win. November is going to be AWESOME!
