NaNoWriMo Reflection... Day 30

It’s day 30, the final day of NaNoWriMo.  I wanted to finish like I started, with writing on the first two days and writing on the last two days.  I didn’t make it.  Days 29 and 30 were no writing days.  I can’t really say why.  I think I was through with NaNo at that point.  I didn’t want to write anymore.  Or perhaps, I’m just ready for Christmas.  Who knows?

I’m glad I was able to “win” NaNo, even though the novel isn’t finished.  I’ll finish it in December.  I’ll have time off from working, so it’ll give me something to do during the winter break.

Until next year, NaNo, it’s been real.

Writing and Misophonia...

Well, I’m sitting in here working and trying to write.  There’s a guy sitting next to me who is breathing heavily through his mouth.  Then, he’ll cough every now and then without covering his mouth.  My misophonia is acting up like crazy.

Now, this other dude comes through here coughing without covering his mouth…

Back to the other story…  I’m about ready to throw him somewhere.  I want to move, but I’m comfortable and don’t want to disturb this groove.

I have music playing, but it ain’t really helping.  I may just have to move… ASAP!

Ugh… This picture says it all…

NaNoWriMo Reflection... Day 25

It's day 25.  I totally goofed off last week.  Took the Thanksgiving Break week thing seriously.  I'm over 50,000 words after writing today.  I made myself write today so that I could go ahead and "win" before time.  It feels anticlimactic, though.  My novel isn't even half way finished.  I have a long way to go to finish it.  I haven't even gotten to the first night of the revival.  I'm still introducing characters.

I have a few writing quotes that I'm using to encourage me.  Not sure how successful they are at encouraging me.

I gotta keep writing.  Ray Bradbury is my new writing hero.

Based on the quotes below... Yes, I'm ready for Christmas!

I write about the greatest theme ever:  God's Love!

Yes, I as born to be a writer!  I was BORN with the GIFT.

I edit well.  I need to find me an editor though.  Editing a 100+ page novel gets overwhelming at times.

So, I'm going to keep working on That Single Preacher in December.  I have yet to finish one of my NaNo Novels.  I'm finishing this one!

I need motivation...

Well... I need discipline.

Day 25

NaNoWriMo Reflection... Day 20

It’s day twenty.  Ten days left in the month.  I’m somewhat nervous because I’m a little over 2,000 words away from 50,000, but my novel is only halfway finished.  I’m somewhat discombobulated because I’ve never finished a NaNo novel.  I mean not one.  Allegations (my NaNo novel for 2006) was turned into Subtle Manipulations and I finished Subtle Manipulations, so in theory, you could say I finished a NaNo novel, but I don’t feel like I should count it.

My outline has 30 more chapters left to write.  I’m still struggling to get started writing, but once I get started, the words flow easier.  I don’t know if it has to do with my shoulder hurting, me being tired, or me just not wanting to write.  I haven’t had an autumn when I didn’t feel like writing.  My off season is usually during Spring when my allergies are acting up and I’m taking meds for my allergies.  Perhaps, it’s the meds that I’m taking for my shoulder pain that has me in a bit of a slow writing funk.

I’m trying to keep writing.  I’m pushing to finish the novel in ten days, but I don’t think it will happen realistically.  Overall, I know I’m going to “win” NaNoWriMo, but my novel won’t be finished.

I’m getting upset.  I’ll have five projects that aren’t written.  I’ll have one that I need to edit and revise.  Ugh!
