It's a good thing I'm not doing NaNoBloMo...

Hope I spelled that right? *shrug* Yeah, because I've been lazily neglecting this blog. In my defense, I'm a thousand words behind. Ok, ok, fine. Like 2,000 behind. Plus whatever today's is. I'm at 9,750 words. *headdesk* Ah, someone'll be up until midnight tonight.

I'll be putting in some long hours to make it up, but I swore I'd finish NaNoWriMo and I will. Procrastination? Slight writer's block? No problem.

Short post again, but I must say, although I am behind, I'm farther than I ever was before. This is so far the longest piece of fiction I have focused on for so long, I believe.

Quick question... are your characters talking to you? And do you find yourself talking to yourself yet? Not that I do it. *looks away quickly* Just wondering. =)

It's going great

Second day. I'm up at 4,462 words. I only needed 3,334. I just wrote 1061 words in thirty minutes for a word war. My novel's really doing well. Anyone else doing especially well, or are you banging your head against a wall? Here's an amazing tool if you didn't already know:

It's a word count thing that especially helps with word wars. I encourage word wars and dares. It's working for me!

Ok, short post, but it's like 11PM and I'm exhausted.
