What a long day!

I started the day 5000 words behind, it seems impossible to catch us but I set my goal as the end of chapter 6. I knew that that would put me in reach of the 13,333 total I need to get back on track. I even decided that I wouldn't do my nails until I knew I was going to make that goal. I know, it may be lame to you but I got my nail wraps from Jamberry and in that order is the perfect nail wraps for NaNoWriMo. With all the boys home I've had plenty distractions and phone calls because we all know that no one wants to talk to you until you're busy. It is not 12:28 am and I can happily say that I am now only a little over 1000 words behind and my nails look amazing!

Chapter 6 ended with cake and the promise of a date ;) Happy Reading, Happy Writing, and Good Night!

Okay, not as much as I was hopeing for, but...

It wasn't to bad because I'm not any further behind than I was starting off the day. I'm up to 6667 words total which is one less than my goal for yesterday which means I need 3335 tomorrow to be caught up... totally do-able! Decided to amp up the drama by giving my main character an alien disease! I don't know, I was writing and before I knew it she was on the ground. That's the beauty and flexibility of being an "Astronaut" instead of a full on plotter. I've also found that writing about aliens and a world made up by me, there is no one to question the validity of her illness ;)For now I'm off to bed, got a busy day planned with trying to get caught up and also go to town for blaze orange clothing lol. Oh, almost forgot. My shirt came in the mail today!

Yay me!!! Anyway, Happy reading, Happy writing, and have a great day!

No Words...

Not one yesterday. The thunder (thunder in November!) woke me up before my normal 10:00 so this morning it's cold pizza and Supernatural. Then get down to some hard core writing. I did get a little more plotted out before my appointment though so I guess that could be writing... kinda. Anyway, I'm hoping to be back for an update later. Until then Happy reading and Many words!

Too exusted to update...

I fell asleep last night... actually this morning, and forgot to update. I am currently at 5200 words which is the goal as of yesterday. I don't see a lot of writing getting done today because I'm headed to the doctors, and it's my husbands birthday! I will try and do some hand writing while I wait for my appointment so I'll probably update on that tomorrow morning. But for now, Happy reading, Happy writing, and Happy birthday Hunny!

Today didn't go as well as yesterday...

Spent most of the morning fighting with my writing program after it ate a bunch of the words I wrote yesterday. Note to self... do not update software, it's a trap! Thankfully I also saved it in Word so after all my fight was gone I switched to that. I got 1399 words, added to yesterdays total, gives me 3400 words. Just slightly over the 3334 words needed to meet my over all goal. I hope tomorrow is a better word count day since I have a doctors appointment Wednesday and I'm taking my husband out to dinner for his birthday. It's 11:00 and I'm tired so I'm putting away the computer for tonight and maybe picking up one of the books in this photo :)

So for now, Happy Writing and Happy Reading!

Not a bad day!

Thanks to the 2 Virtual write-in's; the first one hosted by NaNoWriMo and the second hosted by the Word Nerds, both on Youtube, I got a total of 2001 words for the day. YAY (insert confetti throwing here). For those of you who don't know, the word count goal every day is 1667 words for 30 days to get the 50,000 words in 1 month. As for tonigh my right hand officially hurts and the palm of my left hand won't stop itching, which is really weird. My husband says it's writers itch. I've heard of swimmers itch, but never writers itch. Guess I'll have to ponder that a little more! Anyway, I think it's time to put away the computer and do some more plotting, or at least decided what comes next. I'll be back tomorrow night with another up date :D Night all and Happy writing/reading!

NaNoWriMo Starts Today!!!

Am I ready? Hell no! Do I care? Maybe? Am I still going to do it? Of Course!!! I spent the better part of October plotting and prepping my novel for my very first National Novel Writing Month (Nanowrimo) but no matter how hard I tried, I could not see the end. Without an ending, I didn't know where I was headed... THEN 4 days ago I realized that it was because I wasn't starting at the beginning. So, I went back even further to find my start and my finish. Which just so happened to be in a completely different story. This gave me a total of about 2 days to come up with new characters and building an alien civilization from the ground up. BUT I'm happy to report that being an astronaut, that's all I really needed. So far the count is; a little over 1000 words, 4 cups of strong coffee, and left over Halloween candy... we won't even go there! ;) Happy NaNo Everyone!
