Bad timing.

Second week of NaNoWriMo, and I've got writer's block. Or, did, until about 3 am, when I had to go to sleep. Luckily, my moment of clarity has given me motivation, now all I need is the time to write. This is when I'd love to use all of my 48 sick hours to finish this novel. Also, a two week vacation from work would not be a bad thing, either.

Wish I could write more, but I've spent my lunch distracted by pictures of adorable animals (Go ahead, waste your life away) Off to work I go. *insert 7 Dwarves theme here*

This is it!


NaNoWriMo is here.

AAAAAAAUGHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I spent the last month preparing myself for this, working on extending a script for a fifteen minute long movie into a full-fledged novel and getting up the guts to just write and get out 50,000 words in a month.

So it's November 1st, I have almost enough written to be on schedule for today and maaybbeee tomorrow, and guess what happens to me? I get all hyped up on Halloween candy, giggly at work, and now I have all these new ideas that are making me completely re-think my original plan...Augh, so frustrating!

I'm not backing out of NaNoWriMo, but my new challenge, on top of writing 50,000 words in a month's time, is to write 50,000 words that go together in a structured plot with fully developed characters and ideas and settings and, just fucking...AAUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


.....This is when I need a coffee mug or something that says "Keep Calm and Write On!" Perhaps I'll invest in one today.....



....This might help. Or might cause me to freak out even more. Who knows?
