NaNoWriMo

Fucking hell, I was off my daily quota by 27 words.

27 WORDS.

I fail.

I will make it up and then do more because god damn it, I'm not failing twice in a row, especially not the first two days of it!

I ended up procrastinating with the Amazing Race and then got occupied with things that took me away from the computer with no way to make up the 27 words. :\ Not cool. Oh, well, learned my lesson. Tonight, I'm going to try and get a head start on the 2nd day and hopefully I won't fail again. *sigh*

Anyway, I'm here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/537744 if any of you all want to be writing buddies or whatever. Let's all be crazy together because I'm pretty sure you have to be slightly insane to decide to take something like this on...

Working...

Writing...

Trying to stay awake because like always, I had the bright idea to read this long and emotional K/S fic (in 1st POV! I NEVER read 1st POV) and didn't tsleep until almost 10 AM.

And then I was awaken by my mother with the proclamation that my father is sick and that I would need to fill in for him. Cue lots of cursing. And much scrambling.

Like always, it's incredibly slow so I'm using this chance to catch up on my NaNoWriMo story. Except I just kinda want to fall asleep. Need coffee... Only have tea... But it's black tea so it's still an okay amount of caffeine... *yawns*

My goal has shifted for today. Just meet my quota. I may be able to beat it but I think I just kinda want to sleep instead. *yawn*

The one good thing today was I figured out the WiFi that had been eluding me before. In my infinite wisdom, I forgot I had changed the password and the fact that I had to specify the fact that the security and encryption type was shared WEP. Considering the fact that I already went through this problem with David just highlights how bad of a memory I have.

Okay, no more procrastination. I only have so much power left on my laptop and I do want to hit 3000 words today before I decide to take a "break" to charge it up. Five hundred more words! I can do this, if I keep my attention on my story and not on everything else...

edit x1: Okay, gonna take a nap for four hours now that I'm back home and then hopefully I'll have almost two hours of uninterrupted writing time to get the four hundred words I'm still lacking to meet my daily quota. It should be doable if I actually wake up in four hours and if I don't do anything to procrastinate. I think staying asleep is probably more likely. And I'm starting to think I might not have 50,000 words of a story to write. Hopefully, I will since it's just starting but gah, I'm already starting to run out of ideas... At least the clear ideas of scenes I want to write about... It's the other stuff, the in between stuff that is starting to get me... Somehow, I have to actually develop a plot so I'm hoping that will take up a good chunk of my word quota. Hopefully. It's been a long time since I wrote anything and never as planned out as this story is... I'm still not sure if that's a good thing or a bad one. Okay, nap time! Gonna get some much needed sleep... Mmm...sleep...
