For those who forgot what today is, and who didn't read the title of this post...it is November 1st, also known as day 1 of NaNoWriMo. I started writing at midnight because I wanted to get started as soon as possible. Because I work 10 hour shifts and I catch the bus, I'm not really going to be able to write every day, so the days I do write, I wanna make sure I get a good word count in. So as of 5 am I am at 2256 which I'm very happy with. I'm past the target average words per day and I still have the afternoon and evening of day 1 to get more words in. I would have had more words written but a few things happened.
1. My main character is a singer/songwriter and I made the creative decision to have song lyrics in my novel. Do you know how hard it is to come up with song lyrics at the drop of a hat? Hella difficult.
2. I got hungry around 12:30 a.m. (lol) so I made myself a sandwich...and watched Big Bang Theory while I ate it.
3. I woke my mom up for work and made her breakfast.
All time consuming tasks. Alas, my brain is tired and I cannot write any longer. So I will sleep, probably till 2 pm. Cook for the house, and then settle in to write the rest of the afternoon and evening. Then it's back to my work schedule.
So until then, I leave you with my widget - how I've missed using these. :)
