First of all, today is my brother’s birthday. I’m a horrible sister because not only did I not get him a gift or a card, I only sent him a text message telling him happy birthday and I don’t even think he gets those. I need to send him an email, or better yet, write him a damn letter. I’ll get right on that! Tomorrow (or rather, later today, as it is past midnight – also note, I’ve set my time all wonky on this blog so it’s not almost 5am when I’m writing this)!
Erm. Where was I?
Oh yes. NaNoWriMo. After playing mondo catch-up yesterday, I’m feeling better about things overall today. Compared to the (still small) sum I wrote yesterday (over 6k!), today’s goal of just under 1,667 words felt like a damn cake walk. I think I’m partially buoyed by finally surpassing 25,000 words, a few minor changes in my brain over the past few days, and the fact that I can come back to all of this later and make it not suck so much.
Tonight as I tied up my loose ends around my daily goal, I realized that the problem that’s been plaguing me – how to get my boring ass story to skip a rather large segment of time without using something as stupid as “eight months later” – was easily solvable. So I typed up my last sentence, hit enter twice, and typed in all caps: PART TWO. Ha ha ha ha! Take that, sluggish storyline!
Fifteen minutes ago I felt like I could work on it some more, but now I am almost unreasonably tired. This whole being on a somewhat normal sleeping schedule is totally cramping my creativity.
