30K IN A DAY

It's day 23 and I'm still not at the 70,000 marks yet. Last year I finished with 110K this day. Which means: serious catching up is about to be done.

so today, I'll be home, with nothing pressing to do except to write a book. And it'll be a challenge, because after a point, fingers get tired, mind gets emptied, book gets hated, and life gets in the way.

But I can do it. I can write 2000 words in 30 minutes, so surely, with a little effort, with a little persistence, with a little more control and determination, I'll be back on track and accomplish something worth bragging about.

Is it weird that I'm somehow totally excited?

And afraid...and worried. but that's nothing compared to the elation I'll feel if I do this. Okay, no more blabbing. I think it's about time to get started...I have a long day to go!


For the NaNo forums, if it actually starts working:

Well, it's Thanksgiving, and since I'll be home all day and I'm in serious need of catching up (for my 150K goal!), I'm determined to get where I need to be. And 100K is where I want to be.

I can write about 2000 words in half an hour, so statistically, it's totally possible to write for....six-eight hours and do this. But there is the issue of food and (minimized) procrastination. I figured if I broadcast this to the world, it'll help me settle down and write.

Anyone else crazy enough to join me?

I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'm very curious as to how much I'll actually accomplish...
