Day 29!!!!

Well, it's day 29.  Yesterday I wrote a TON and I was up until 2am just to read 45,000 words.  I beat the mini challenge, it said "before bed" right?  :P  And today, I finished my 50,000 words, not my novel granted, but my 50,000 words and completed nanowrimo my second year running.  I can't wait to do it next year.  =D  Maybe I can even finish writing this novel by the end of December...although don't quote me on that one.  ^^;;

YAY FOR THE WINNERS OF NANOWRIMO 2008!!!!!!!  =D

50,005 words and counting.

(Wow, I finished a day early, unlike last year's close call.  ^^;;  Plus, I finished without an outline and it feels great!!!!!  =)  I can't believe it...is it next year yet?  :P  I think I even said something like that last year.  ^^;;)

Saved the best for last.  Thank you to everyone who supported me, commented on this blog, had word wars with me, or said anything to me during nanowrimo.  I honestly could not have done it without you and I'm not just saying that.  The shame of letting you all down, as well as letting myself down was too great.  Now to go bother my parents for thinking that nanowrimo is not important and that I shouldn't have done it.  :P  Thanks again you guys are the BEST!!!!!   =D  =)

Day 27!!

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the United States!  =)

Now to the good stuff.  :P  Wednesday I had a half day of school and sadly, I caught up on my sleep that day that I had lost the past couple of weeks.  =(  Today hasn't been much better but late tonight my friend and I participated in multiple ten minute word wars and it gave me the kick in the pants I needed!  I'm almost at 40,000 words and about five minutes of typing will send me over that amount.  I have a ton of word wars with two friends scheduled for tomorrow so I hope to get at least 5 or 6 thousand words done.  I really need Sunday to do all of my homework but we'll see.  Homework comes last.  :P  (No, I'm seriously just kidding).   I think I might be able to make it!!!!!!!!1  =D

CATCHING UP!  =D

Day 24

I am slowly catching up!  haha  I am so excited!  (Discouraged most of the time: yes, but also determined and excited at the same time!)  I've written about 5,000 words already tonight, I'm shooting for 6,000 words then I can get to bed.  I can't believe I'm catching up!!

Just thought you'd all like a small update.  :P

Day 21 or 22? I don't remember.

I am doing really well if I do say so myself.  I am already at the half way mark and plan to get to 30,000 words before I get to bed tonight!  That most likely will not happen so 28,000 will be my first goal.  We'll see how it goes.  I have to read so much for english again so that will probably be all tomorrow night.  But you never know.  Just thought I'd update this for once.  I do plan on finishing it as long as I can keep my confidence up!

Half way there!

Day 19

O-M-G.  I actually made progress tonight!!!!  I finished my homework earlier than expected since I have half as much since tomorrow's a half day of school.  I went from about 16,000 to 20,000 words in about two hours!  Thanks to my friend who was also aiming for the same goal as me, I was able to do it!  All hope is not lost as I once thought it was!!  Keep typing everyone, it's not too late to start catching up, and it's not impossible, even at this stage!!  Word Wars really work!!!!  =)

Day 16

Okay, today was not so successful word count wise.  xD  I went to bed at 3am then got up at 10:30 (I know, I need to work on the whole sleeping schedule thing).  Immediately I started reading the last 100 or so pages of my english book.  Well, I started out reading a chapter then doing a ten minute writing sprint.  I got about 1,000 words done in less than half an hour of writing sprints but then I just keep trying to read my book.  Then I had to learn calculus since my sister wouldn't help me and ultimately, I have 6 more pages of that english book to read.  I know, I know, all excuses, and I should have been keeping up with my writing sprints all night but still....my fault.  I feel so guilty right now.  =(  But I'm probably just going to stay up as late as a physically can and type away, see how far I get.  Who knows, maybe I can manage another 2,000 words and not be TOO far behind.

There is still hope.  There is still hope.  There is still hope.  There is still hope.  There is still hope.  There is still hope....

Oh, and don't forget about our word war Pen3Inch!!  I expect a date and a time frame where we type until we can no longer use our wrists.  :P
