I've written 5070 words or so the last two days. My plan is for 10-15k more. I'm sitting at 30,050 words. Only 20k more to go. July story won't be finished but at least I'll have won nano.
I don't know why this year's nano has been so difficult for me!! Very frustrating.
Anyway, happy turkey day. Be save! Avoid crowds!

Day 21 15,000 weekend challenge
I have not written much this weekend. I had planned to. However, I ended up spending most of Saturday with my mom and sis after the gem show. Sunday I went to church with the intention of writing afterward. Well, I ended up chatting with my aunt and cleaning house and doing laundry. My brain afterward would not come up with much. I wrote a whopping 350 words on my iphone.

Day 20 (early morning?)
I haven't written anything else since last weekend. This week was just hectic, stressful, and utterly annoying at work. I had no creativity to write much of anything.
This weekend I signed on for a 15,000 word challenge. I need to get my word count up before Thanksgiving. If I can get to 35K the last 15 is always a breeze in comparison.
I should have been writing since I got home from work. However, I got sucked into watching Tomb Raider. Then I played Plants vs Zombies! I beat the levels in the free version. I'm tempted to buy the full one, but I rather spend the $20 on a wii controller. i suppose I should get off of here and write something dag nab it!

Day 16
I didn't write Monday. Going back to work and having parent teacher conferences afterward drained me of anything creative.
I wrote a little bit today from my phone. I posted it here but then transferred it to Liquid Story Binder. I wrote 789 words which put me over 23,000. I am having a hard time getting back into the characters' minds. This year work such seems to interfere more so than it has in the past. Go figure.

Day 2 of 25,000 Word weekend challenge
25,000 words challenge!
I don;t think I am actually going to hit that 25K now. I should have written 12.5K yesterday, but did not have the energy to do so. , therefore I start Sunday with 7325 words down. I'm still pushing for 25k but that seems like a very very long shot. If I could write another 10K today I think that would not be too poor of a showing! Off to the races!!!!
The other thing that is so interesting about creating anything is the different directions the piece decides to take. I started with one idea and now it has blown up into so many others! I could actually turn this story into a 2 novel set. The bad part is that I would need to get them both done this month otherwise I know they'll sit in the pile of unfinished works! GRRRRR Maybe I can find a December NANO. Finishing month is somewhere and I would have Christmas vacation to work as well! We shall see. OK NOW off to the races! ;)
SUNDAY UPDATES:
I'm having a harder time than I did yesterday. Yet we shall push on.
12:52 PM 9102/25,000 words= 36.4% of goal
7:58 PM 11,208/25,000 = 44.8% of goal
Well, I think that about wraps up the marathon writing session this weekend. I don't have much left in me. Need to recharge. Not a bad total though. I might try for another 1500 words before. That way I will have hit 50% of my 25K word goal! However, it's already 8PM
