NaNo ~ Day 1 ~ Confessions of a NaNoer
Confessions of a NaNo participant.
Well, I must be crazy. Seriously. In the past two years that I have attended college this recent class that I just started a week and a half ago has to be by far the most difficult. On top of that, I don’t think the instructor likes me very much. My workload is unlike anything I have ever seen and I haven’t had time to take my nose out of my 3000 page textbook to even breathe.
So a week and a half into that and NaNo starts, Yay!! Yeah right. I’m so stressed about school and almost on the verge of tears from it, add to that stress NaNo and here comes nervous break down.
But I won’t go down so easily. I’ll find a way. I’ll conquer this bitch … school and NaNo. So far today I’ve written a total of 1278 words and the day is not over yet. I still have the rest of the night, but before I get back to writing family duties call.
I have kids, dogs, and hummingbirds to feed, trash to take out, and homework to do before I can dig in some more. Until then, my story will be playing in my head and I’ll be mentally writing till my fingers can touch those keys on my laptop.
Wish me luck and cheer me on. I’ll need all the good Karma I could wish for.
And for those that are also fellow NaNoers … Good Luck!! You can do it!
I feel your pain. I was able to scribble down a shade over 4000 words today, but I should be doing a Nuclear Fuel Cycles project instead. No kids, but work, school and other projects always seems to make for a full day. Good luck!
Wow!! Impressive with the 4000 words!! Go you! That’s incredible! I was able to squeeze in that hour and if I can manage a few more tonight I’d be delightfully happy with 4000 words. 🙂
Yes, life always hits the hardest when we need it to slow down. But I’m sure I’ll get through it… maybe with a few tears and some loss of hair along the way, but blah… it’ll be worth it. 😉
Good luck to you too! Stop by and keep me posted or add my as a writing buddy. itlnbrt
Took me about an hour and forty-five minutes. Hopefully I can keep up that pace. I don’t really have much time for more than a couple of hours a day of writing at most and I am in the middle of three other projects on top of classes/work/etc. Look forward to seeing what you come up with!
