Oh yeah! I'm feelin' the burn. It's like a marathon run...I have to keep telling myself that I'm HALF WAY DONE. Well, half-way minus 2,000 words. I tell you, this week has been so insane. All I can say is, school is kicking my trash at the moment. You know, people sometimes assume that as an English major, I have all the time in the world to read or write for fun. Yeah, until I have free time, I'll be using all my time going to campus for classes, going to work and working on five simultaneous projects.

The fact that I was able to write 1700 words today was a miracle. I'm already behind 1.5 day's worth of writing and I can't afford any more slip-ups! But I managed to get everything done today that needed my immediate attention and magically had two hours left for this NaNo madness. I tell you, this is so hard but so worth it.

I think over the weekend, I'll try to screw my head on straight and then I can actually share with you good people what I'm actually writing about. I hope you find the concept remotely interesting.

It's just funny how when you have buttloads on buttloads of things to do, you manage to take two hours of your life to help someone else without being asked and still find the time to get your stuff in order. I don't know about you, but I believe in a higher power, and He's got my back on this one.

Motivation...

Holy heck, Leute.

Just to let you know, in order to make the cut by the end of November, I must write roughly 1,600 words a day, or three pages of writing. It's a lot, but so far, I'm somewhat on track. I'm actually (blarg) 1200 words or so behind because I was sick. So now it's time to play catch-up.

Writers, how do you keep your butt glued to the seat to write when you'd much rather enjoy the nice weather outside, communicate with other people, or literally do anything else, like clean the whole house, rearrange all the wall décor or go save Gotham City?

It's probably not as bad as it looks; I mean, did you see how many words I've written in the past eleven days? That's right, it's the twelfth, but I haven't gotten around to today's 1600 bit.

Anyway, for your fun-filled enjoyment, check out the cover I designed for my book! I must give credit to kechake-stock for the picture of the girl in the cute lace shirt.

Fight the good fight! Write it 'til it's over!
