Status Post (23) — NaNoWriMo {Current Status}

I have another exciting screen dump for those interested. My crap-ness is unrivalled. But I will prevail! I don’t care how knackered and mentally drained I am when I get home, I’m going to aim for two thousand words per evening!!

Yeah, I know – the extra stats came from when I was between brain-forced sessions and in great need of a break to reboot. I don’t know what it is exactly, I’m just really drained my creative juice has spilled somewhere I think and so I end up with only a handful of words (handful… of words… awesome – for some reason I picture alphabet fridge magnets) by the time I crawl into bed.

Still, weekend is coming. Hopefully I can make up for it *cough*though I said that last weekend and look what happened*cough* My main problems are, 1) that I’m still in the process of trying to get my drive back for Nighttime, 2) I keep being distracted by Steps and Strings and a random Necromancer story, and 3) Wings needs early don’t-want-to-write-’cause-they’re-not-as-fun chapters doing before I can move on and they take ages to do, especially with me being so tired.

I also, as you can see from the screenie, did the naughty and finished a chapter of Soul instead of doing NaNo projects :O Though that’s infinitely better than wasting time and means when I get back to my regularly scheduled writing I’m past the little roadblock I found a while ago.

Planned a super-bumper-packed FW weekend with Ob for the weekend after my birthday (19th-21st December), which should be fantabulous as usual. Hopefully we’ll get three or more chapters done… and then we have the New Year’s time we’re spending together, so we might actually get to half way by January :D

Also, finally, I want to share something I re-found in my notebook earlier. I wrote it a while ago during the Wings chapter explosion when I was planning some of the later stuff in which a lot of destructive stuff is going on. In my notes it says:

‘What comes before full-on mass destructive terrorism? … Diet terrorism?’

It amused me somewhat, though it sounds better said aloud. I remember I was talking to myself – like you do – and I was stressing about what sort of build-up there should be to something and I said that, paused, thought about it, then burst out laughing. I said it without even thinking, which is always the best way with these sorts of things I think.

Okay, sorry about that. I’ll stop :P

For now.

Oh, and Pay Money To My Pain are the smarties and should be adored by everyone. I am finally in love with a band. It’s good coding music.
