So yesterday I am super psyched to start writing for NaNoWriMo! I couldn’t wait till 12:am, November 1st, 2007, so that I could begin my novel. It is going to be a hectic week (I will be out of town this Friday & Saturday for a wedding) so I run a few errands after work (had to deliver a package to FEDEX, get my suit from tailor, and buy a new shirt) before filling in for my girlfriend at the complex gym (she had to start separating her clothes, do laundry, and shave? So I worked out as long as I was at the gym for 2 hours). I get home by 10:10 and eat something by 10:30pm… and figure, “Aaaahh…. just another hour and change” while I watched TV with my honey…. and that is the last thing that I remember before waking up at 5:50am! Of course my downfall was that I watched tv while in BED!
So I guess that I didn’t get to start with all of the enthusiasm which I was expecting of myself, BUT I did get up early and write from 6am to 7am! Word count stated 1077 words… so not bad for my first session. Too wordy for my tastes, but what do you expect when beginning to write a story at 6am! I plan on hopefully writing in advance for the next 2 days since I may not have a chance to do so, and I want to stay in front of this.
I do feel tired today… but i’ll be damned if I pass out again tonight! At least I won’t have to wait till midnight to write!
To be continued….
