WC-Madness

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*
