Choices

Day four of NaNo, and I'm only about 700 words behind the NaNo staff's recommended daily word goal for today. I'm 2k short of my own goal, though, so I have a choice to make.

If I stick with my goal, I'll be soaring where I would like to be; I'll reach 50k on Nov. 25 instead of on the 30th. And then I can just see how much more novel I have left to go and write as much as I can before November ends.

If, however, I let today slide, I can work on some Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series fan art that popped into my head recently, which would be a relaxing deviation from hard core writing.

Of course, being that it's only 7:45, I could easily spend a couple of hours writing, and then spend the rest of my late night drawing (and inking and coloring).

It's all in the choices. I think I'll get cracking on that word count in any case, and we'll see how the rest of the night goes. But keep an eye peeled for fan art, if you're a deviantart follower!

Later!

Funky Tracks and Online Vids

So, I feel like such a sap because I've been listening to romantic songs all day (like Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban). I like it, but at the same time, I'm wondering just what's going on in my head.

Once again, I'm leaving my writing to the later hours of the day. I have roughly 4,400 words right now, and by the end of the day I would like 6k. It's kind of a bad habit, but, at the same time, I have quite the excuse.

I decided today to catch up on the twelve episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged that I hadn't seen. It was a couple hours well spent. I spent so much time laughing and in an elated mood that I'm wondering just how I'm going to transition back to the more serious tone necessary for the scenes in my NaNo right now. It's a problem I am willing to tackle with determination. And, when I hit my goal, I promised myself a reward of beef jerky and X-Men III. (I watched the other two a couple nights ago...It's kind of a marathon thing.)

I was permitted to have Subway for dinner, which made me happy. And now I think I'm ready to go tackle some words.

Until a future time!

At Long Last

I took the time before starting my NaNo yesterday to change out all of the features on here to a November theme (the list to the right, and thought box and the poll at the bottom of the page). I meant to post an entry after that was done, but it slipped my mind, even after I had some of my daily writing done.

I'm standing at about 1,663 words. I was supposed to finish 2,000 yesterday. All that means is by then end of the day today I must have 4k or the zombies will be unleashed from my closet. (Yes, they are very sad that Halloween is over...Poor zombies...)

In other news, I'm obsessed now with keeping everything in manuscript form, and I spent a good half hour writing a short introductory scene from the point of view of a mouse. Good times.

Ta for now!
