NaNo and mini Nano Checkin Day 5

Nov. 5th, 2015 at 5:33 AM

Okay folks - time to brag/vent/dance about your day's word counts.

Everyone still feeling motivated/excited? Still liking your project?

Mine still doesn't have a title, but I'm feeling pretty good about it. We'll see how that holds up next week :D

2 Word Wars/Sprints are scheduled for Sat. All are welcome, of course, whether you are doing some sort of official NaNo or not.

I keep having this wild urges to take some of the short 'verses I've invented and write some things up... and then I remember that writing is like pulling teeth, these days.

Can someone invent a device to take the thoughts from my brain as I think them, and put them onto paper? Then, all I'd have to do is edit.

Maybe a voice recorder app for your phone *evil grin*

Seriously though, I've been there. Partial plots spinning around in my head but an uncoopertaive muse keeps all the words to herself.

I'd be more excited if I actually had a decent amount of time to write...but the workday time has not been cooperating thus far. Off to try to do some now...

It's kind of been sucking. I'm lucky to have 3000 words at this point when it should be around 10k? I have a lot to catch up on. I have a write in tomorrow so hopefully I can put a cut into the debt. I'll try to get word count today. :/

Oh, that's tough. I've been there, lots. Official NaNo goal for end of day 5 is 8335 which is not THAT far behind. You can do it! Anything we can do to help?

Maybe take a random prompt and write on that for say 30 minutes or an hour. Then figure out how that can be incorporated into your novel. Perhaps its a dream or a letter one character has written to another or ....

Work this week has sapped my energy completely. Still I managed 1196 words today which keeps me on target.
