NaNo Update

I will win NaNoWriMo. Through pure will, if no other way. I haven't been posting here because I've been too busy procrastinating to do so. As of yesterday morning my NaNoWriMo word count was 29k. That's 21k below the 50k goal. Right now my word count is 41k. So I procrastinated so well through the first 27 days of the month, never on top of my word count goal. I don't think I made any of the quotas after the one on the first day. And now it's an hour before the last day of November and NaNoWriMo and I am proving once again that I am amazing under pressure. Tomorrow I will have to write 9k, or less if I squeeze another thousand or two words out of the next hour, and I'm thinking that pulling an all-nighter into the last day of NaNoWriMo sounds like a really good idea. So what if I have two classes and work tomorrow. I can survive on no sleep. Plus, I got a good night's sleep last night, and I can sleep in December.


I want to win NaNoWriMo more than I've ever wanted anything in my life, so I'm going to do it. Go me!

Oh Boys!!: A "Fresh Blood" Mini Recap

I think they should rename the title of tonight's episode to "Oh Boys!"


I want to rewatch the episode before typing too much, but "Fresh Blood" is definitely one of my favorite of this season.


Something to look for in future episodes :: So far the episodes dealing with vampires all have the word 'blood' in the title. "Dead Man's Blood," "Bloodlust" and "Fresh Blood."

Sleeping On The Inside

Sleeping On The Inside: That's what I'm doing. I'm sleeping, but I'm awake. It's not because I'm bored, it's just because I didn't get enough sleep and I dislike mornings. So here I am, at work, sleeping on the inside. And trying my best not to fall asleep on the outside as well.


I slid past 8k last night before bed (I wouldn't go to bed until I reached it). Today I'd really like to catch up, but I'll take one thousand at a time. I'm going to try to push closer to 9k between now and noon. Then after lunch I can write in my room with music (though I may need to take a nap). I'm doing homework somewhere around 3pm. Then I can write more until dinner between 5pm and 7pm. And I work again from 8pm to midnight. I'll be able to bring my laptop for that shift, and write more. Wednesdays in November are going to be my catch up day because I'd really like to catch up to the 11,900 words I'm supposed to be at. I think it would feel really nice to not be so far behind.

Post 180: Procrastination

I'm procrastinating a short paper I have due tomorrow (later today) at 11am. I think once I get going I'll finish it in no time, but I just haven't been able to get a good start on it.


I'm exhausted. I want to go to bed. I guess I'll get to work on the paper.




NaNoWriMo update! My word count is 6075. I'm glad that I got to 6000 words, but I'm still about 2500 words behind.

Sometimes I Fail At Life

I forgot to post yesterday, which means I lost NaBloPoMo after only four days.


Because I didn't post yesterday, I will win NaNoWriMo.

Best Word Count Ever!

As of right now my word count for NaNoWriMo is 4242, which is the best word count ever, in my opinion.


I spent from 4 to 6 running word wars in an AIM chat. That ios a lot of fun.

"Cat and Mouse" - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus


Softly we tremble tonight,
picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in site,
I said I'd never leave you'll never change
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life.


Am I supposed to be happy?
When all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.

You said, you said that you would die for me…


We made plans to grow old,
believe me there was truth in all those stories that I told.
Lost in a simple game cat and mouse are we the same people as before this came to light?

You must live for me too'...
For me too...yeah, yeah…
You said that you would die for me…

I love this song. Carissa showed it to me after Melissa showed it to her. It's reminds me of Supernatural. It seems like it could be made into a songfic from Sam's point of view.

Much Better

Life is looking up, I must say. My Computer Theory teacher was fired and one of the other Comp Theory teachers took over for him. We went over things today that weren't explained right and I didn't understand. It's like actually learning now. And not an anger management class disguised as a computer class. I;m not afraid to do the homework this week, which is new.


All in all, life is lookin' pretty good. I work from 4pm to 5pm and I'm hoping to bump my word count past 3k. That's my goal for the day. If I make it to 2.4k I'm hit my quota for the day, but I want to get as far ahead as I can before week two.

Yay me!!

Word Count: 2318.


Tomorrow (later today) my goal is another 2000 or more.

NaBloPoMo Post the First

I don't want to get caught up in class and writing my NaNovel and forget to post, so I'm doing it now. This is my first NaBloPoMo post. I promise not to name them all like this one. That would be rally boring. I will be putting all the post from this month under the tag NaBloPoMo (or at least one a day). And I garantee that alot of the posts will also be about NaNoWriMo.


At the time of writing this my word count is 1073. And I wrote it all between midnight and 3am. Go me!
