Okay, so today was a much better writing day. I got my word count without any problems. Sorry this is so brief, but I just now found out that I have to be at work at 4 a.m., which means getting up at 2:15, and I have to work a 14 1/2 hour day now. So, hopefully, I’ll be able to force a few words out tomorrow.

So, I have brain drain today. Seriously. I can not remember my own name for longer than five seconds. Writing…not a good idea today. I wrote barely 1,000 words, which is so not my personal goal. But…I am ahead in my weekly word count for this week, so I decided to cut my losses and quit for the day. The words I did get probably don’t make sense anyway. I’m going to bed early, and hopefully I’ll be back on track tomorrow. Anybody had a day like that lately?

I had a good writing day today. Everything flowed quite well, and the dramatic, emotional scenes were, well, dramatic and emotional. I finished my word count goal, plus a bit more, so I am happy. Now I am off to watch The Big Bang Theory (which, if you haven’t seen it, is hilarious).

And now for my second update of the day (as if you couldn’t read). The words flowed pretty well tonight, despite me being exhausted from the day job. I am getting into the first part of some fairly important revelations for Shai and Rowen, with a lot of emotions flying about everywhere. I’m enjoying writing this part so far.

Due to technical issues last night, I did not get to post my daily blog. Therefore, you are blessed to be getting two in one day. Lucky you! Anyway, yesterday was a decent writing day. The words flowed tolerably well, and I hit 50k! Yay! Halfway to my goal!

I am really, really (did I say really already?) proud of myself for actually hitting my word count goals every day for two whole weeks. I’m finally convinced that I might actually be able to write every single day for 30 days. That would be something for me. I tend to procrastinate and put things off frequently. The words…they did not come so easily today. But I captured them. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. My goal is to hit 50k tomorrow….

Despite a lot of personal drama going on with my family, I somehow managed to concentrate enough this morning to hit my word count goal. I’m not sure if the words will actually be usable when I start editing in a few months, but they are there to edit, which is the whole point of NaNo. So, yay!

I don’t know why the words are coming so easily this week, but I am not complaining! I got my word count goal today easily, with no issues, and in less than an hour. I’m wondering if it’s because I’m getting up early to do it before work, or possibly if it’s just because, after struggling to get 5k and 7.5k respectively each day this weekend, 2k seems like a breeze? I’m thinking the last one is probably it. Plus, this chapter was fun to write, but I’m about to get into some of the more emotional scenes in the story. I’m afraid that might be a little more difficult. I guess we’ll see.

The writing went well today. I started a scene that I hadn’t really planned on, but I like it, and it fleshes out a part of Rowen’s character that we don’t really get to see much. I got my word count goal for the day (exactly), but I may try to get a little bit extra tonight after work.

It wasn’t quite as bad as pulling teeth today, but it was close. I got my word count, though. Yay! I did more bad things to Rowen (he almost got ran over!), and I made Liliana really, really angry. Sometimes it’s fun to be mean.
