Write Stuff [16] - NaNoWriMo Day 30

Write Stuff (formerly Working Writer Wednesday) is a weekly meme based on the Wannabe Writer meme hosted by Sarah at Confessions of the Un-Published. This meme (I changed the name so I could post on any day of the week) is what prompted me to start Writer Quirk, so I am thankful to Sarah for creating it and allowing ANYONE (even a quirkster like me) to join up. So go visit her site and the others who participate. Do it.



For the month of November, Write Stuff will be my way of updating my NaNoWriMo progress here on the blog. Hope you enjoy the crazy!

Where I am in the writing process:  I'm done! I reached 50,057 yesterday afternoon. I got more words in last year, but a win is a win!  ^_^

My problem(s) today:  Not a thing! Unless you count the fact that my novel, while meeting the 50k goal, is not finished. So, yeah, I have more writing to do.

What made me happy today: Successfully having completed NaNoWriMo meant I didn't have to write today! I took a nice break, read a book, stalked people on Twitter, lol.

Goal for tomorrow: Keep on truckin'. I don't like to think I've written 50k just to leave it there and not finish the thing to the end. The real reward is having a complete beginning-middle-end draft of a novel, so that's my goal for however long it takes me to reach the end of the story.

And now, my new NaNoWriMo badge! Yay!

That's it for this time!

For the month of November, Write Stuff will be my way of updating my NaNoWriMo progress here on the blog.  Hope you enjoy the crazy!

Where I am in the writing process:  I'm just over 40k, so I'm nearly done!

My problem(s) today:  One thing I have learned about my writing process is that the closer I get to the end of my story, the longer my novel gets. I'm nearly at my word count for NaNoWriMo, but still have at least a third of an outline to get through. I guess that is reasonable, as most YA novels are not 50k words long, but it is frustrating!

What made me happy today: I'm not at work! I'm enjoying a nice four-day weekend at home after having a great Thanksgiving Day with family.

Goal for tomorrow:  I hope to only have 5k or less words to write tomorrow. I usually take Friday's off from writing, but since I took yesterday off from it, I'm planning on making up for it today. I think I can get at least 5k if I work at it on and off while doing some housekeeping (the laundry runeth over, y'all). ^_^

Where I am in the writing process:  I've got about 27.5k words, which means I've fallen a bit behind.  Thank you, life, for getting in the way of my creative process!

My problem(s) today:  I'm feeling angst-y, which is similar to antsy, but with more scowling.  I want to write, but feel like I should be mad about something instead.  I probably need to have a talk with myself about irrational emotions.

What made me happy today: Ice cream and brownies!

Goal for tomorrow:  Catch up on my word count, and hopefully, if plans are work out, go see Breaking Dawn Part 1. I've heard so many many many things about it and I know it will be (probably ridiculously) awesome.  And maybe get some Mexican food too.  ^_^

Where I am in the writing process:  I'm nearly 20k words in to this year's NaNoWriMo project, which is the sequel to last year's project, otherwise known as my unfinished rewrite.  So that means I'm ahead of schedule!  (Sooooooo not the case last year, lol.)

My problem(s) today:  I'm feeling antsy.  I, for some reason unbeknownst to myself, do not want to get started on today's writing session.

What made me happy today:  Funny baby pictures. ^_^

Goal for tomorrow:  Eat at the Japanese place I've been craving for like three weeks.  I know this is not technically a writing goal, but hey, you never know what kind of inspiration might hit you at a Japanese restaurant. (Hopefully I don't get hit by a ninja.)

Where I am in the writing process:  About sixty percent through my rewrite, though I am putting this away for November as NaNoWriMo has begun!

My problem(s) today:  I only wrote 1168 words today!  (I started out with only 22 early in the evening so technically, this is progress.)

What made me happy today:  I got to meet some new local WriMo's and be at my favorite writing spot!

Goal for tomorrow:  Write! A lot!!!
