Nanowrimo 2005 Update, Week Two - 9:22 p.m.
Nanowrimo Word Count: 36317 words / 50000 words
Let's just say it's really good I broke 20,000 before Week TWo started. To give you a picture:
End of Day Seven: 20402 words
End of Day Fourteen: 36317 words
That's just the general picture. On a good note, I did reach quota (1667 words) per day every day during Week Two. (In fact, I've done that every day this month.) Of course, I have the incentive of hot chocolate after I reach quota, which might explain a few things.
Now, for some general comments on Week Two, even though all you really need to know is that it's the hardest. Enough said.
1. It seems like Week Two just kicked me during the week. Ironic. So while I was running around like a maniac getting all my work done, I couldn't squeeze out the 1667 words per day that I needed to squeeze out. Grr.
2. Also, no matter how far ahead or behind I am at the beginning of Week Two, it still kicks me for a few days while I try to make things happen. This time it lasted Monday through Friday. Naturally, I was much less cheerful than usual during the week.
3. Shea is conspiring against me. See, she normally goes to bed later than I do, but suddenly she's been going to bed earlier. What's up with that? I normally wouldn't mind, but it's November! I'm probably up writing or updating my word count. Okay, I guess November is my turn to be more annoying than usual. [insert insane grin here]
4. Remember, fellow Wrimos: Week Three is better than Week Two. Always.
Oh, and I have to share a random line from my Nano-novel from Week Two:
“They used to strip you down, whip you all over thrice with poison ivy-covered whips, glue garlic all over you, and put in the room with the yellow walls.” -Mrs. Haggerty to Dameon about being crazy
