Well I'm sorry to say... 5 days ago

That I ended up with just 50,176 words according to that word counter.

So I won, by writing 43,000 words over 3 and a half days. Gah!

it’s actually sort of funny that after pulling nano and script frenzy stunts of ever increasing improbability that my brain rarely feels like mush anymore, I just am way tired from lack of sleep and my butt is sore from sitting for entire days with my computer in my lap.

might write a how to, definately will write a blogger post
( http://rovingjack.blogspot.com/ ).
I’ll be back in a day or two to my 43 page and do some cleaning and finishing of some of those. Then I’ll try to be better at tending them.



AaaKkk! Overslept 5 days ago

and yet didn’t get enough sleep!

I gotta get some wordage in before work and then some extra safety words in after work to be sure of the victory.

I’m still in a good place though.

Just a last minute dash to the finish while still seeing to my web Comics and blogs and such.

Then there is to be a great deal of sleeping. For some time.

Then I’m back in the mode for Big fun scary challenges, with a group of Nanowrimos who continue to do those someday projects together on the Nano Boards.

Gotta run.



the end is nigh 6 days ago

I’ve got roughly a bit under three thousand word left to do.

It’s time for bed now and I will do the writing before and/or after work. I will be able to win this year.

On top of everything else I’ve faced. ( moving and sickness flairin, and making a thanksgiving dinner and job glitches and a bit of a broken heart, among other things) I’ll take a simple win rather then my win time however many I wanted to test myself with. I still think it’s impressive that I did about fourty thousand of it in three days.



almost there 1 week ago

kind of. I’m about 3/5 done but I’ve abit of time to work on this wake cycle. I want to get 10 k more by noon (1am to noon at 1k per hour I should be able to do it)and then I’ve gotta run some errands as I’m almost out of food. then I will sleep a few hours and wake refreshed (yeah right) in time to do another 10k before going to bed on monday morning and sleeping enough to function at work for the day. and then catch any more missing words before midnight.

I think I can do this. If my totals today aren’t what I expect then I raise my totals for tomorrow and if tomorrow isn’t all I dreamed it would be then I catch the over run on monday.

I have a real chance. Gotta go now bye.



alright now 1 week ago

nearing the 10k mark since the start of my writing spree. Once I’ve hit that point I’m taking a bit of a stretching break. I want to get another six k in if I can for this spree. Then it’s rest time and wake up and see if I can do it all again when I wake up. and maybe the last time on sunday. after that just a few thousand on monday (1-4k) to meet the 50k total. Then It’s back way off for the week at work.

Tend to a few projects and then work some more on writing, but a slightly less insane rate. Monday marks the seventh day of writing for me this month and so I’ll keep track of the number of days writing and the word counts I get for those and figure out roughly what I’d be able to do if I had time to plan ahead, and prepare and was left alone for my writing time for thrity days.

I have the feeling that under ideal conditions I could do some truely phenominal stuff.



okay a good start today 1 week ago

4k in five hours. Now to get another two or three of those in before bed (for me right now that’s whenever)and then shoot for a bit of the same tomorrow.

That aught to get me close enough to allow some room to get some done on monday for the finish.



Okay folks here is the deal 1 week ago

I’ve slept long and hard. I’ve got time off from work until monday. I’ve got some errands to run in the ext day, and a blog entry or two. Oh and a web comic or two as well, but outside of that I’m going to be writing.

I will try to post about it once or twice a day here. What I have hopes of doing is 35000 words by monday morning.

So Here I go to my blogs and one of my web comics now to get that out of my way.



okay redo 2 weeks ago

after seventeen days of otherpeople exploding over my life and eating up my time whic I’d planned for a year, I’m now facing some serious problems with getting this done.

The two novels I started are serious and phylosophical, that’s brooding writing, that’s a slow process.

I need fast, shallow and fun. so I’m switching over the brunt of my work to some silly and maybe a bit of naughty fun stuff that won’t ever be seeing book shelves.

at this point it’s just to get back into writing and get past the drama and road blocks of the last two months. I may share one or two with online freinds.

I will occasionally add to the ones I started, and I still would like to edit and finish my previous works.

So I should at least get 50k by the months end, and maybe even 100k. I then plan on taking those lost 17 days out of the start of december.

Yes I’ll finish nano on time, but I am alsotrying my original intent to see if I can do 150k in 30 days.



I have to average what?! 2 weeks ago

by my calculations I have to pull about 10k out every day until the end of the month to pull off my goal. but That’s on top of working my day job, making sure I have food and house taken care of and the various sundry other obligations I need to tend to each day.

How did I let it get so serious?

Well the words won’t appear by wondering how come I havn’t written them yet.



Well I suppose I should start 3 weeks ago

Now is as good a time as any. I technically put a token 1000 words in for each of my books thus far.

But the actual writing of the stories has been sort of side tracked by the mess my life has been. But no more. I write tonight and all day tomorrow, no more playing or dilly dallying or lolligagging or whatever you call it. I’m shooting for over 125k and possably 150k and I’ve got fifteen days to do it in.

no pressure right.
