Nano progresses
Nov. 3rd, 2010 06:53 pmDay 1: 2180
Day 2: 1259 - 3439 total
Day 3: 1751 so far - 5190 total (ETA @7:20: 2193 / 5632) (ETA @11:20: 2633 / 6072
Per the baseline average of 1667 words/day, I am pretty much on target. Per the intended average of 2000 words/day, I am 1k behind. Per the part of my brain that is obsessing about how much I suck unless I have more words than anyone else, I am perpetually behind and should just give up.
(Not giving up. I was close to it last night, in a "I should just give up being a writer" fit of emo, but then![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
apocalypsos linked to an article that was all "lol nano is the stupidest thing ever", which made the contrary part of my brain go "um haha not a chance of me giving up", and I don't know how long that will last but.)
(I am kind of worried about stuff because 2k is a marathon for me, and yesterday's words were probably the most I could expect out of a tuesday-or-thursday because of rehearsals, and thanksgiving will mess things up, and birthday celebrations [which LJ oh so thoughtfully sent an email going "hey isabeau, did you know isabeau's birthday is coming up?" to which I snorted because yes, yes I did indeed] will mess things up and I can barely scrape by on *good* days and flaaiiil.)
I have completely given up on writing linearly; so here, have a random snippet. You know that bit in the Valdemar books where the herald-to-be looks into their Companion's eyes and is lost in the ZOMGBLUE♥LOVE♥ACCEPTANCE♥YouWillNeverBeAloneAgain?
Yeah.
