Finally! A writing spurt for NaNoWriMo!

So I was pissed about losing my Fantasy Football  game today, and I pretty much stayed home all day. All i wanted to add (since it  is 2:40am and I have to go to work today morning), is that I finally wrote with honor today! At current count I am up to 14,470 words! A new record for me! Just 35, 530 to go! LOL

I will say that the preparations  that I made seem to have helped me alot. First of all I went through alot of the forums at the Nanowrimo website, and this helped me flesh out a few things like at least having a rough character profile, an excel spreadshett with a timeline that I could space out some thoughts, and I even created a daily word counter where I can put the daily amount of words that I wrote that day, it would add up the total, calculate by how much I am off pace (or ahead of which hasn’t happened yet… but give it time!), and it even displays a pie chart showing how much i’ve completed based on my numbers and how much I have to go. To be on pace, and in total to get up to 50,000 words!

Suffice to say, I  do think that it helped! I was able to double my word count in one day because of  it, and  I think that it was  pretty decent writing to boot! The other thing that really helped me out was  re-reading through my first 3 chapters. I know that we aren’t supposed to look back at what we wrote, but for me it helped because I was able to add alot more detail to my story and think about how it was all going to come together (now that I had a timeline). So if it helped me, then I guess that it couldn’t be all that bad right? 

Well, i’m going to take a quick shower and go to bed. I will  shower before going to bed because I KNOW that I will be waking up late and be in a rush. If i shower now I will be eliminating shower time in the morning! See, I do like to plan ahead!

Wish me luck! And hopefully later today (Monday) I’ll be able to catch up and write the 5, 000 + words that I will need to write to be caught up to my daily amount for Tuesday! I’m looking forward to that! Good night!
