I'm a little under the weather today, so I thought I might have trouble meeting my goals...so I had my main character remember an important conversation that happended earlier in the book. I did this by copying and pasting the conversation (about 90 words) into today's writing. Is that cheating? XD
But even without that, I actually passed the 1667 mark, so I guess I didn't need it. ^^;;;

Hey, if I can write dialouge first, then write out the other stuff, then what I did is okay.
Btw, I have a system: I get 12,000 words a week. Meaning 2000 words a day, which gives me Saturday to catch up on other things. that means by the 27th, I will hav 48,000 words. It times it pefectly, giving me Sunday, the 29th, to write my last 2,000. And gives me that day plus November 30th to simply wrap up the story. I have about 9,500 words, but I might just do the rest tommorrow, since I'm not working.

Oh, gosh. I'm attempting NaNoWriMo 2009, but so far it's not looking too great. I have tons of scraps and pieces writing that probably adds up to way more than 50,000 words, but that obviously isn't the point; I'm at about 7,000 words, when I should be at twice that many, or at least a couple thousand more. I need some motivation, and at the same time, I need to be put into an empty room with only a computer (with no internet) so I can focus. I figure that I probably should've prepared a little more, since I'm having trouble choosing what scene to write next, and I keep thinking of new plot ideas for totally different novels to write.
*deep breath*
I shall comprise a plan!
...Better get to it.

I have a little over 10,000 words now since I haven't felt much like writing lately. Haven't updated since the widgets aren't (won't?) be up.

I got a little behind these last two days, but I'm nearly caught up. I'm only about 300 words behind.

My word count is okay now, slightly ahead of what it should be, but I have no idea what's going on in my story anymore. I had a sort-of outline, but I seem to have drifted away from a fairy tale to a romance story with fantasy trappings.

I have about three hundred words that are pure out line and a whole dialouge scene some ways down. I think I'm over my hump now; Yesterday's writing what a hell of a lot easier then Sunday and Monday.
But my suggestion is...write a scnee maybe in the future if it's in your head. It's not a trick, but it does help me get that particular scene out of my had, then go back to what I should be working on.

Okay, I am currently writing a massive death scene that I just thought of probably a couple days ago.
...I've started it and almost all my 2000 word were on it or about the family concersning it. I haven't develoed deep except for one discritp of one body so far, and on the verge of finding a sufficated child.
...Should I feel bad this was easy to write? If it helps, my eyes watered up at certain parts while doing it.

Holy Crap!
Okay, when I started to write today, which was around 2 or 3, the money was $250,000!
Now, at 11 o'clock, they are just under $332,000!
That's $82,000 in around five hours! Go them!

That's awesome! I wonder how much they'll make by the end of the month...
I am behind in my writing, but am slowly catching up.

Pickle, why are you putting dollar signs...?
Anyway, I'm on target. Neither ahead nor behind.

Because, Butter, that's the donation's the had, not word count! It's the money at the side corner on the front page! It went up about 82 thousand dollars! In five hours!
...I thought it was cool...
