Early Highs and Lows

Ugh...

The first two days of NaNo have come with mixed results.  Day 1 started off with about 500 words from my midnight session.  I managed to work out another 300 on my  lunch break, but felt stuck after that.  Most of the afternoon and evening went by without much progress.  I was already feeling discouraged.  At 8:30, however, I gulped down an Amp energy drink, sat down in front of the computer and pounded out nearly 1,000 words in two and a half hours!

I felt so accomplished!

Then, Day 2.  I had the entire day off, and I got started on writing about noon.  Yeah, I only wrote about 650 words all day.  Didn't help that I went over to my friend's apartment for a while, but you know what?  I need a social life, sometimes!

So here we are on Day 3.  I have another day off, and I'm determined to not only get back on track, but to get myself ahead so I'm not always playing catch-up.  I've put the word out to some local wrimos for an impromptu write-in.  Maybe that'll get my motivation in high gear.

Off to Word!

NaNoWriMo Day 1

Well, here we are.  November 1, 2012.  The beginning of probably the most challenging month of my life.

Here's a quick video I made for Day 1 (not saying I'm doing this everyday, just thought it momentous enough to make a video).  Sorry for the quality; I only have the webcam that came equipped with my laptop and I did not realize how much I fidget...
