holy shit man. holy shit.

im so excited!

so, in order to punish myself for only writing about 1000 words in the past three days, when id hoped to have this thing almost done by now, i will engage in no pleasant activities until such a time as i reach 45,000 words. which is 1700 words from this point, after writing 2300 today. woot.

i can taste it, really. and i do love writing, after all. don't i?



right?!?!?

im 75% of the way done, now. and im really proud of myself. i actually like my story, and i think with some serious editing after the fact it could really be something. besides, this is a ridiculous goal and i think i'm going to make it, even with thanksgiving and the sudden metric fuckton of work.


i'm patting myself on the back for sure.

im about 64% of the way done, and aallll i want to do is quit.

who came up with the idea of NaNo being in NOVEMBER. end of the semester, anyone?

okay, so here's what i wrote today!

so, the other day i finally figured out an ending! i was quite concerned that i was just eventually going to stop writing and type, well...yeah....there you have it. hurrah. i intend to write more on the end tonight, but alas, i can't post anymore cuz THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THE END! AND ITS A SURPRISE! A FUNNY ONE!!!

the problem is that im starting to not care about my characters, story, etc. blargh. so unmotivated. ill do my damndest to hit the halfway point tomorrow. urgh.

so, i was 900 words or so from 20,000 at 2 oclock, so i should be done now and not really guilty about having fun starting in like an hour or so.

but then the power went away all over campus. grrrrrr. but you know, i think thats okay, i didnt hit my goal but i got pretty close, and im ahead o' the game anyway, so it's all good.

now im gonna be girly and try and find pictures of my dream bangs.

(okay, so i just reread that last sentence just now, and adam brought it to my attention just how dirty 'dream bangs' is. i dont know how i missed that. DREAM HAIRCUT!)

i will not give up on writing tomorrow until i hit 20,000. and that is a fact. you can even quote me on it. for reals.

here's some more.

so, im steadily plugging along, and i feel pretty confident that unless something unforseen goes on, i'll actually be able to do this! score!

finally, the priest scene! i really will get around to the phone sex operator bit any day now. as in, tomorrow, dammit. maybe even NOW!

i wrote another metric fuckton today! 20K by this friday, dammit!

and now, our hero has it out with his momma and gains another follower!

( Read more... )

10K! wooooooooo!!!! 10K!!! hurrah for me!

i cant stop giggling. people are silly.

i was looking for like, scholarly dealies on the 'blogosphere' to most effectively mock it here, and, omg, get ready for this:

some people

actually refer to it as




BLOGISTAN!!!



hahahaha i think the funny may kill me!

i wrote about a metric fuck-ton today, and i may write more before bed. but i wanted to post while it was still day 5, and im working til 1 am.

today features romantic tension (whee!), a silly newscaster, and a creepy kid bent on following our hero around. the next installment should feature a dragon-mom, a priest, and a phone sex hotline!

i intended to get to 6000 by tonight, but alas, im a supa-slacker and i never ever get anything done on the weekends. alas. however, at work, i thought through the "mom" sections and the "how our hero gets disciples through one of the great mysteries of the blogosphere" section. hopefully those will be written by wednesday, the day i also plan to hit 10K.

i also added some stuff to previous sections, but that would just get confusing, so, heres the bit that is still in chrono order, yo, foos

( Read more... )

so, i didnt hit the 3000 word marker i set for myself. but i think i spent my time well.

the word flood looks stupid. also, the second section is out of chrono order.

( Day Two )

i had a dream about zombies and nanowrimo and i woke up honestly thinking for about a half hour that my novel actually WAS about zombies.

im going for a 3000 word goal today. scurry!


rap is the perfect novelling music.

dont ask me how i ended up with a round number like that.

the biggest problem i've run into so far is finding a narrative voice i like. there are about 3 or 4 in there right now. once i can pick one that can be funny and emotive at the same time, ill go back and edit for continuity. but until then...well...

( Day One )

so. this is supposed to be a novel, eh?


i'll be taking bets.
