I know. I'm really really behind with blogging. Lately by the time I stop writing at night my fingers hurt too much to sit and type anything else that does not count towards my story. Besides, there hasn't been much to tell anyway.
Day 18 -- A very slow day. I wrote down just a tiny bit at work, then it was my nephew's birthday and I spent the evening with family. I came home and typed only what I'd handwritten earlier and called it a day. I was beyond exhausted. I needed sleep.
Day 19 -- Woke up feeling much more rested! Sleep was definitely a good option. Had an excellent night virtually attending the write-in and wrote a total I was extremely pleased with. I did some serious catching up for the amount of words I was falling behind on again. Plus write-ins are something I have come to love and treasure. I have no idea what I'm going to do when they go away.
Day 20 -- NONE of us felt like writing. I spent many many hours in the chat room talking about Nano and countless other things, but we definitely weren't writing. We ran a few 10- and 15-minute sprints at odd intervals throughout the day and that's the only time I got my word count in. I was impressed with the day's work considering I spent so little time on it. Hey, I think I'm finally starting to get used to writing. Sometimes it still really hurts my mind to think, it definitely is starting to hurt my hands to type, but even when I get stuck I still feel ready to sit down and try to sort it out. Even on the bad days when I can hardly crank out 400 words, I'm excited about it. Those words took me somewhere. Somewhere that hadn't existed yet until I wrote them. And the next day will continue the journey. Oh my goodness, what will it bring?! I'm only on the first leg of this very long, guaranteed to be very-trying journey, but I'm finally beginning to feel like a traveler and not a weekend-vacationer. Nano has already provided me what I wanted and more. And I still have 10 more days (officially) to go.
Day 21 -- Went to the write-in at the library today and shared countless rounds of excellent laughs that brought us to near tears. I really do love these people. All of them. They have made my life so much fun and brought so much excitement, enlightenment, and encouragement that I can never thank them for it all. We're almost to the end of Nano. I can see it! I can feel it! I can do it!
