Nov 17 - Man, I've forgotten about this thing. My bad.

But, it's been a good week for fun. Went to a birthday party and held a buncha snakes; ~elanorgamgee's got some pictures of them up, I think. Twas fun.

And I found the NaNoWriMo dA chat! So's is very happy making!

Annn I'm almost at 30k. Woo. But man, am tired. And hugry.

--

Later Nov 9 - I HIT 20 K!!!!!!

In only a week, too! MAN am I proud of myself. ^^

I think this calls for an XMen movie and mont chocolate. Ciao, peeps! I'm off to celebrate!

--

Nov 9 - Aight. So. I'm still ahead of the game, but not really anywhere near if I want to make 100K. Maybe I'll just be lazy and not bother with that. Ah wells.

It's going pretty good, writing-wise. I've got two new chapters written since last time I posted. Well, one and an incomplete, I'm not sure if the second one's totally finished yet.

Ooh, and I've been adding author's notes when I don't know what to name something. Hee hee. Word count uppage.

--

Nov 6 - Now 13K! I'm thinking of challenging myself to have 100K finished by the end of the month, just to really be pushing myself, because honestly, I haven't been working all /that/ hard. I'm hearing other NaNoers talk about their dangerous attempts at writing through the night; I've been writing from appx. 9.30am to 5.30pm, and sometimes again from 7.00 - 10.00. Really not that much.

So I'm upping the anit! Here's hoping I don't crash and burn!

[Oh: and I found that paragraph that I thought I had lost. The internet did delete it, but the computer didn't. So I just upped my word count by 300 without really trying. Go me. ]

Yay for NaNo!

[oh. And I'm really really hoping I don't get sick like I feel like I'm getting. What a damper that would be in my wordcount.]

--

Even Later Nov 5 - THIS BOOK IS OVER TEN THOUSAND.

SHOOP DA WOOP.

[also, I'm kinda really wondering how big a journal can get before it's broken...]

10,000 in three days! Twelve more days at this speed and I'll be finished!

(though I actually think I'm doing the 'double your previously written wordcount' thing instead:
day1 - 2000
day2 - 4000
day3 - almost 8000

Very strarnge. ;o

--

Later Nov 5 - So, I wrote another 'chapter' today before going home for supper, and when I came back here afterwards, it was gone. Poof. Vanished. D: Is very very very sad making.

I'm thankful that it wasn't long, but I really don't know why my gmail ate it. (gmail is where I'm saving my NaNo draft for now) I'm soooo thankful that I had the full thing saved onto one of my yahoo accounts as well, otherwise a lot more than just two paragraphs would've been lost. So I'm happy and sad at the same time.

Here's hoping the novel-eating bug is gone for good!

--

No 5 - Upped my word count yet again! This time I'm ahead of what I'm supposed to be at. Nyahahaha!

Oh, and I've introduced and described all the characters now. Wheee.

--

Later Nov 4 - So, I finished 'Chapter' five in Baessein today. I guess that'd be part four on here, as I counted the first one as an intro. It's going really really well today, I'm poroud of myself. I'm practically all caught up, just have little more then a hundred words until I break even. Course, me being me, I'm probably just gonna stop here and pick it up again tomorrow, bright and fresh. (Also I've written everything that I had planned out so far, so I kinda wanna plan a little bit before I write more. Hey, it's NaNoWriMo! You're allowed to plan! Sometimes. )

--

Nov 4 - So it's about time I update my journal, eh?

NaNo started last Sunday; I didn't get a chance to start writing until yesterday, where I only managed to crank out 2099 words (when I needed 5001 to break even.) So you can say that I'm running a bit behind. Oh well. It's my first time, I'll use that excuse.

Begginnings are always hard for me anyways. Once I start going with the big stuff, it'll probably go a lot faster. That's what I'm hoping anyways.

I thinking, cause I'm rediculously proud of my mad NaNo skillz, that I'm going to upload a little bit of this novella every day (or rather, every day I write; meaning probably no updates on weekends, or days that I can't get to the college where I'm working) just to 'tease' you guys and show off what crap I've pulled out now. And only one per day, so I stay ahead and have incentive to work harder.

So, yeah. That's basically it. I'll be editing this journal throughout the month, showing off my word count and such.

Tally ho! And Good Luck to fellow NaNoSaurs!
