NaNoWriMo: Days 11,12,13 (The Catch Up Edition)

Hey guys! I'm not dead! I've just been playing catch up the last few days, because I fell far, far, behind. (Like, 10K total behind. Yeouch.)

So...

Blood Ties @ 58K
Plural @ 20K

I'm still a bit behind on Plural (as of the 13th I should be at 21,667) but that's small beans. I'm so not out of the race.

Here's how I screwed up, then fixed things:

Day 10, was already behind. See last post.

Day 11, had a crazy busy day at work because it was Veterans Day. Did not write at all. Fell way behind.

Day 12, wrote 5K on Blood Ties, caught myself up there. Did not touch Plural. Fell super duper behind.

Day 13, pulled an all nighter and got sort of caught up on Plural. I still have no doubt that I will reach 50K by the end of the month, even if I'm a bit behind on count/day at the moment.

The plan for Day 14 (technically, today)
Work
Sleep
Get to 60K on Blood Ties
Get to 23,334 on Plural

The plan for Day 15+
STOP SLACKING OFF
KEEP UP ON YOUR GOALS
THEN YOU WON'T HAVE TO STAY AWAKE ALL NIGHT
PLAYING CATCH UP
AND BE A GRUMPY KAT AT WORK



Coffee now, please and thank-you.

Hope your weekend is full of writing and fun!

  1. Wow. That's awesome! I'm only at 18K with my NaNo now. Hope to be at 20K by tonight, but yeah, there's homework and there are tests and there's a birthday and there's having to socialize... So yeah. Well, slowly trying to catch up.

  2. I slacked off with SRH yesterday and I only wrote 900 words but I did some major edits on Charms so that's how I justified it.
    Today I have to work all day which makes me sad but I have 6 (yes SIX) whole days off starting Wednesday. Yay!

    Good luck with the word counts...You can do it!!

  3. Just keep your goals up, you'll do fine. And don't worry, I don't think being too grumpy at work will be all that bad.

  5. Good luck!! You can do it. I was behind about 8000 words last week and pulled myself out of the pit. I had to disconnect myself from the world but it worked!

  6. Wow, I couldn't even do one project for NaNo, and you're doing two! I'm impressed.
