Hello Everyone!
Today is day twenty of NaNoWriMo and the word count goal for today is 33,333 words! My word count is currently sitting at 35,438 words! I did manage to write another chapter of Scarlett last night, and I also managed to write about 1,200 words towards the essay that was really giving me trouble, so over all, I would call yesterday a writing success.
Around this time of the month is where things start to get crazy for NaNoWriMo. As of today, you can officially validate your novel! Now is your chance to shine! If you have already written 50k words, then go and validate! Get your winner's certificate!
Even though last night was good for productivity, it wasn't necessarily good for me. I finished all of that writing at about one in the morning (I was REALLY having trouble with that essay and wanted to get as far as I could. Getting those 1,200 words took me almost six hours), and then of course I couldn't sleep. I had resigned to the idea that I wasn't going to be able to sleep when I suddenly got a really bad stomach ache, which was at about 5:30 in the morning. I took a Gravol (And not one of the ginger ones. I took on of the old fashioned, will-knock-you-out ones) and finally fell asleep at about six. I just woke up about half an hour ago (it is currently 11:30 in the morning as I type this).
I know that might not seem to bad to a lot of you, especially since it still works out to only being five hours of sleep, but I come from a family of early-risers. I am always awake by eight, so sleeping until eleven feels wrong. However, I at least feel well rested, since I slept like a brick thanks to the Gravol.
I had originally planned to spend my morning finishing that troubling essay and then reading some of the book that I just started (Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay. I'll have a review up when I finish it!) because I have been really enjoying it, and my class today doesn't start until 2:30. I'm hoping that I can still at least finish that essay, and if I still have some time to read, that will just be a bonus.
In case you are wondering why I don't have writing Scarlett on the list of things that I wanted to do that morning, its because I find that I write better from about 8pm until Midnight. I will still be writing Chapter Twenty-Two, it will just be later tonight after I have had my evening chat with Isadora. She still hasn't read the chapter I put up yesterday on Tablo either, so it will be interesting to see what she thinks of it. It was a pretty fun chapter which just happened to be full of drunken shenanigans.
As always, if you have a Tablo account, link it in the comments so that I can check it out and give you a follow. I hope that all of your stories are coming along nicely!
Lots of NaNo-Love,
Helen.
