Day Twelve

NaNoWriMo is becoming a ridiculous roller coaster of ups and downs. Some moments I'm begging the teenager at the switchboard to turn it off, but he's chewing gum and his ear phones are blaring and he doesn't even notice me. Other moments I'm screaming "FASTER FASTER!" as the roller coaster gets ever more exciting and breathtaking. Sometimes it makes my head spin.

I attended a write-in virtually again tonight, and boy I don't think I could have written much tonight if I hadn't. I failed miserably on my first box of doom challenge, barely writing one third of what I was supposed to achieve. (I wrote 579/1400 words in 30 minutes.) But the second box of doom challenge I surpassed, creating a new personal record! (1068/900 words in 30 minutes.) GO ME!

Anyway I once again achieved my goal of 1667 today and went over it as well, which means I caught up just a tiny bit more for the days earlier this week that cost me dearly. As one of our beloved MLs told us tonight, "Novel-writing is not for wusses." She's absolutely right about it too. Novel writing is definitely not for wusses.
