Cool NaNo Chart

This is a cool NaNoWriMo Chart that was made by the dude knowbuddy at NaNo.



Sweet, eh?

And another thing

As of right now I am ranked 42nd in the state of Maine!

Yes out of 200 Mainers who are tackling NaNoWriMo I am the 42nd in word count.

(Edmund is 4th. Yes, you heard it here first, my wonderful husband is 4th in the State.)(Gah!)

18,563 & on the mend

Took a couple of days off from writing. Why, I was stressing out, oh and I couldn't think with this cold that I still have.

Back on track though. Tonight I wrote 978 words for a total of 18,563. I am about 13,110 words behind. But I am still in. All the way, baby.

I desperately need to get to 50,000. Wish me luck!

'Fro

After years of frustration, which has increased over the past few months, I have finally got my hair permed, again. Lately, I have had to blowdry my hair for it to look good, and frankly I don't like to spend more than a couple of minutes on my coif.

Here is me before:

Really Sick

I am really sick and miserable, so I have given myself yesterday and today off from writing my book. I am not enjoying the sickness thang.

Tomorrow I will write, write like the wind.

And Sunday too.

Today I rest, and ruminate on my dear husband's gajillion words.

More Weird Dreams

Last night I dreamt about immortal frankenstein-type beings (there are always two, man and a woman, always two) who were 7,000 years old and could travel from city to city in secret passageways.

The secret passageway in my dream was to Minneapolis, and it was located in a local McDonald's garbage chute. (The passageway/portal does not work for mere humans.)

They also had superpowers.

Ice Cubes?

Weird Dreams last night. Very Weird

The first one that I remember, albeit hazily, was that I was watching a drama set in England with Kevin Kline as one character and some other dude as another. They used to work together, then the crazy one did something bad and the uncrazy one quit. Then the crazy one, as befitting his crazy status, beat the crap out of the other dude.

I can't remember which character Kevin Kline was, crazy or not crazy.

The last picture in my mind was of the uncrazy one driving away, looking like another person (because he was beaten so badly). Weird.

The second one that I remember is one of those dreams where I was "awake" and laying next to my husband. All of a sudden I started shivering, but I wasn't cold. My whole body was shaking. My teeth were chattering. After a minute or so, I had ice cubes in my mouth. I had made ice cubes in my mouth! (I was eating a cough drop at the time.)

17,585 -- Best Lunch Ever

Wrote 1,108 during lunch today. Awesome!

Obligatory screen shot of progress:

16,477 -- huh, how did I do that?

So I posted earlier tonight, but I sat down just now and typed another 654 for a total of 1674 words for the day! Yeah...

Not too shabby. I am now only 8,528 words behind. However, tomorrow (in twenty minutes) I will be 10,195 words behind.

I can almost taste the 20,000 words. Almost.

Can't believe I have to make it to 50,000

Is this what you want? Is it? Is it?

Insert sigh here.

15,823...

New Mantra:
No Plot? NO PROBLEM!
No Plot? NO PROBLEM!
No Plot? NO PROBLEM!
No Plot? NO PROBLEM!
No Plot? NO PROBLEM!
No Plot? NO PROBLEM!
No Plot? NO PROBLEM!
No Plot? NO PROBLEM!
No Plot? NO PROBLEM!

15,249

ugh. In spite of sickness, I did write about 241 words yesterday. I wrote 446 during my lunch today.

I am so far behind! GAH!

Need to write 9,746 words to get caught up to where I "should" be.

Edmund, however, is at 34,724 - and is going gangbusters!

Funny!

I surrender to the sickness

No words today.

None.

I will be trying to feel better soon, and write more on the morrow. Well, actually I will be plotting my novel tonight (I know, I know, I should have plotted it BEFORE I started) All will go toward my word count.

This. Is. Hard.

14,041

Yeah!!! I wrote 717 words today. So far

Paneraific

Hanging at Panera with the NaNoWriMo crew. Have to leave at 2:30 to meet Edmund at church at 3:00. Will probably come back afterwards.

BTW, Edmund has written 30,422 words so far.

Grr.

(Sloughing away at 13,764)
