finish my NANO novel

Initially for my goal of writing for 10 minutes every day, I wrote longhand in a little scribbler; short stories or whatever. But I didn’t have much motivation to do that. I realized that I was really motivated to keep working on my NaNo novel. It’s been a tough slog: trying to get back into the story with characters I’ve sometimes completely forgotten about, but I worked through a lot of rough patches and yesterday, I wrote for over ten minutes solid, adding new material instead of just re-working awkward stuff that had made me stop working in the first place. It didn’t feel as good as it used to, but it didn’t feel too bad either. So who knows. Maybe this isn’t a lost cause after all.

See other entries regarding NaNoWriMo & Best selling novel – I want this to be a properly finished novel, structure, format everything… and then try and get it published!

I have lost something. The drive, the inspiration, something. January was a no go with the writing. I did write a bit, but my depression got so bad that I was lucky to get up in the morning.

Second of all, I tried writing one day and I forgot the names of most of the characters that I was writing about. Ugh. I still carry the notebook around to write in but I haven’t done any writing so far.

I know that I need to finish this so once again I am going to try to finish writing my novel as well as start writing every day once again. If I do it, it will be a mircle.

All I can do is try at this point in time.

I’d like to finish my 2007 novel. Finish and edit it! AHHH!

December was too hectic for me. I maybe wrote about 5,000 or 6,000 words the whole month. December is hard since I work retail as well as the law firm was getting ready for the end of the year. November was bearable to write everyday, but December became impossible.

I wrote about 160 words today. But starting tomorrow, I am going to write about 1,725 words a day so I can get another 50,000 words down in my novel. I need to finish it so I can start editing it.

My urge has grow very weak in the last 4 weeks about finishing it. Too much heartache, but no enough encouragement to finish what I started. I must finish it because I started it. I can’t start working on another until I have finished this one out. PERIOD!

I believe it is going to be much easier for me since Christmas is finally over. I will just see.

I have this weekend off so that I am going to organize the living area so that it gives off a pleasant feeling of productivity. It is so very cluttered. November was a horrible month with me.

I need to sit down every day and continue you writing every day no matter if it is only a page or it is four pages.

Just need to get motivated again. I moved my framed Certificate into my bedroom so I could look at it every morning to motivate me once again. Nanowrimo might be over, but the story I started is not.

I need to keep going!!

I am not working on the novel as hard as I was in the month of November. I need a break.

I have still been writing, but on top of getting things ready at the office fof the end of the year and working retail during Christmas season, I just don’t seem to have a lot of time to myself.

I want to scream! I am so stressed out. My work, my private life and my characters are hit a lazy point in the story.

I really don’t know if this story has any potential. I guess I just need to slowly plod along and hope that I find where I need to be.

that I was going to write a nivel, and dammit it shall be done!!!!!!!!! I’m gining myself until Jan 1 to finish the writing. Then I will begin the torturous task of editing!

Nanowrimo is officially over and still I am moving forward on this project that I started until it is finished. I still have a way to go.

And I already have an idea for next years Nanowrimo. I will get a outline and character bios ready. I am so pumped about this now.

I must not freak out in excitement that might cause me to just stop moving forward all together. Just one day at a time. Goal: To write another 50,000 from December 1st to 31st. I am counting down once again, starting tomorrow. This way I can get my novel finished.

I made my 50,000 words for Nanowrimo and now I need to finish the novel that I started.

I went to the Emergency room yesterday morning. I was in a lot of pain and I knew something wasn’t right. To find out that it was just my gall bladder. I was having a gall bladder attack, which I had never had one before, but I found out from my mother all my aunts and her have had them plus some of them have had theirs taken out.

It was very frightening for me and the pain was really intense. I am feeling better right now, but still in a bit of pain, but I am able to function better then I did yesterday. I might try to write today a bit so I keep going, but it depends how well, I feel.
