Good Morning Everyone,
Today is day seventeen of NaNoWriMo, and the word count goal is 28,333, and I am currently sitting at 27,846. I haven't hit the word count goal yet for today, but its only eight in the morning and I haven't done any writing yet.
Yesterday, as you could probably tell from my entry, was a fairly difficult day for me. I was stuck somewhere that I wasn't fully comfortable for most of the day, but when I did finally get back to my dorm, I felt so much better. I got my review for Flashdance written, got to talk to my family, and got to talk to Isadora (who then pestered me until I started writing another chapter of Scarlett, so its thanks to her that I got all of those new words last night).
However, after all of that good, something bad apparently had to happen. I was looking at the syllabus for my Canadian Literature class, and apparently the essay that I thought was due on Monday next week for Peer Review, is actually do on Wednesday, so I don't have as much time to work on it as I thought. I still have no idea how I want to approach this essay, let alone have a full eight to ten page rough draft done for class in two days.
I'll figure it out, I always do...
on a happier note: chapter sixteen is officially my longest chapter of Scarlett so far, coming in at over 2,300 words, and whenever I actually get off of my ass to revise it, it will probably be even longer. I'm still not entirely happy with the conversation that Scarlett and Death had, and I can't wait to be able to fix it.
I'm hoping to write chapter seventeen before I leave for class at one, and then maybe I can write chapter eighteen tonight when I'm chatting with Isadora again. Hopefully I'll be able to write a little bit of that essay too, at least enough that I can bring to that peer review session and have someone look at to get feedback...
I really hate peer review...
I hope that you all are having a fantastic Day Seventeen so far! Let me know in the comments section, I always look forward to hearing from you guys!
Lots of NaNo-Love,
Helen.
