NaNo update

Well, I've had my ups and downs with my writing. I'm still sticking with the story I started so that is good but I'm just not motivated. The story is so blah. It is just crap. I mean more so then if I was just being harsh on myself. The writing is just flat and boring. I don't know what I am doing wrong but instead of dwelling on it I am forcing myself to go forward. I can always edit later.

I'm at almost 16k words now. I was almost caught up a few days ago but then life got in the way again. My husband has been taking over the computer. I leave to take the kids to school and when I get back he is on the computer and refuses to get off until the afternoon. I have the most energy in the morning, right after I get up and want to write but can't. So I end up staying up all night instead and then I'm exhausted in the morning. Ugh.

He said I could write tomorrow (today, actually since it is almost 2am) then he mentioned he had a doctor's appointment in the morning. No wonder I get to write--he won't be here. ::big eye roll::

I still love my story line even if the writing is crappy.

NaNo has begun

So NaNo officially started at 12am (local time) on Thursday. Unfortunately I didn't get any writing done that day or the next day. Instead I came down with strep or something and was pretty sick after Halloween. I am finally starting to feel a little better, but my throat is still sore. But at least I'm not racked with shivers (I was freezing even with a sweatshirt on and my heating pad on high) or feeling like I could fall over at any minute.

So I decided to not use my original idea. I love the idea and hope to write it eventually but it is just too involved to use for NaNo. I wouldn't be able to give it justice. Instead I had this other idea rattling around in my head for months and it is a simple love story so it works great for this challenge. It is fun and easy to write and I have already gone over plot ideas in my head for months.

I wrote a little on Saturday (about 1900 words) and I just added to that today for a total of 3657. Not too bad for 2 days of writing. I'm only like 4700 words behind, lol. Oh well. I might be able to make that up today if I get the chance.
