Procrastination begone!
I was hoping I could hit 10k words tonight. But I guess not, hahaha. Anyway, minus the original 6914 words, I've written only about 3k+ words. Still hit the daily target at any rate... and yes, I decided to try NaNoWriMo. Because Carmen and Megan were awesome brainwashe - nah, kidding.
Because I decided to continue a novel I was procrastinating, I have an original 6914 words that was written before Nov 1st. So my actual goal is 57k words, I guess. Omg.
I was just thinking I wouldn't get the full 30 days of Nov to write since there'll be stuff, and choir, and dinner, that takes up a whole day (meaning I'd have to compensate for the lost words on that day).
But when will I ever have a totally free Nov? So I thought, screw that, and just do it. There's no penalty for failing to hit the 50, 000 word limit anyway. But it's a personal challenge that I'd love to complete. Even if it takes me more than one try, ohohoho.
And yes, they're right, if I can hold a complete first draft of a novel by 30 Nov, all that finger pain, brain pain and inspiration sourcing would be worth it. Ten times over. It'll be worth the world to a writer.
And oh, lookie here! I've just written like 200+ words' worth of a blog post! I could've written 200+ more words for my novel! LOL.
I shall not blog anymore for this month (this is a lie. You will see a post sooner or later). I shall devote all my laptop time to writing that novel. I shall refrain from getting Fable III until Nov 30 (or get it and pass it to mum to keep). I shall NOT touch G4. And I will touch my PSP, but only when I can't get on the laptop, lol.
GOOD HEAVENS 57K WORDS I'VE NEVER WRITTEN THAT MUCH BEFORE OH MAN. :D
