Realizations

So I realized today that my job isn't something that's going to be over in a couple of months. It's something that probably will last for a few more years.

That's a depressing thought. I think I'm going to marry for money. Or at least marry young so the years in which I have to work are greatly reduced.

Also, NaNoWriMo is hard. I've known this before but I always forget before November.

Remind me next year.

NaNo word sprints on Twitter will be my savior. They're the only reason I have a word count at all. Thank you Twitter.

Word count: Somewhere around 4,500. I can do better. I know.

Books currently reading: The Unlikely Debut of Ellie Sweet

2K to 10K by Rachel Aaron

Currently watching: Les Miserables. Poor Jean Val Jean. :(

It's here! In which I cannot contain my excitement for NaNoWriMo

IT'S HERE!!!! NaNoWriMo is finally upon us blogglings!!! In case you were wondering, it's one thirty in the morning here. I've already been hard at work for NaNo and also have been doing some hardcore thinking into my non-writerly life. Pretty impressive I must say!

To start NaNo I wrote 970 words in 45 minutes. I was pretty shocked. Of course, as most NaNoWriMo novels, it's pretty...er. First draft-y. If you know what I mean. But that's alright! That's how it's supposed to be!

If I had my way, I'd be staying up all night tonight going at my novel with a vigor virtually unparalleled. Unfortunately, I have work tomorrow. So I should probably get some sleep. I also have a massive cold. Possibly a fever. It's hard to tell, but it's even harder to focus on writing. Which is highly unfortunate.
There's also something I like to call The Pit of Despair (A.K.A. the internet) that keeps me from writing. Even on day one. Oh this shall be a fun month blogglings.

So I just wanted to let you know that my blog posts may get fewer and fewer as the month goes along. Or they could get more frequent if I'm writing them as an excuse to NOT work on my NaNo novel. I'm not really sure, and for that I'm sorry.

"I'm so, so sorry."

Anyway! Happy November everyone!! Good luck on your novels if you happen to be participating!
