i sort of want to write some rambling hundred page non-narrative just to do it but i'm in the middle of enough projects as it is. also, i don't like the novel as a medium.

meh, 8340-ish words. I planned on at least 10k by today. This isn't going well.

I would sure like to have written 8300 words by now. I spent like four hours writing last night and barely got 1300 words out of it. I'm still not sure of the mindset I really need to be in to plow out words without caring what they are.

One of my characters just started ranting about how brilliant Johnny's Odyssey is.

Man, writing a novel is fucked up.

This is the second year I've attempted Nano, and will most likely be the second year I crash out with a pitiful score.

I got to about 850 words by the end of day 1 and have hardly progressed at all since then.

In fact, I think I deleted a third of it the other day.

Depending on how busy I am at work over the next couple of weeks, I guess I might be able to pull something back. It's not very likely though.

Although if I DO finish, it'll be the best goddam story you ever read.

Man, you don't delete words in NaNoWriMo! What are you thinking?!

Sitting pretty right now at 18,897 words--a bit under par, but by far the longest continual work I've ever done. I'm really feeling good about the sheer amount of writing I've been able to do--granted, it's very very crappy, but it's one of those amazingly refreshing times in your life where you discover that you're capable of something you never thought of before.

Judging by where I am now in relation to my 6 pages of outline, there's no way I'll be able to finish this in only 50,000 words, though.
