...words to go to catch up for NaNoWriMo - and I got barely a thousand written yesterday, and that as a last minute blast, again! *sighs* These lads just aren't getting the job done... Maybe I should have had a much more firm plan for the chapters etc. - and stuck to it more than I have the bits that I did have planned... Maybe I just don't know these lads well enough to describe them properly (although it's nice getting to know them, it's taking far too long!) That word count above should be at 38,333 by the end of today - eep! And then there are only 7 days to finish, a single week (although that does include another weekend, so phew! So I'm going to post here today as well as watching my own NaNoWriMo page, and see if I can make a big difference to it by the end of the day...
This may or may not happen, because I have a cold! It turned up on Friday night, just in time for me to be all plagued-up for my first Photography Club, and for E's party last night when I met everyone from around the yard here. Gargh! Ah well... It's actually not raining at the moment, which its forecast to do most of the day...ooh, no it's not! Auntie Beeb has changed her mind since last night, and there will be no rain today! 0C tonight, and frost, and tomorrow will be sunny (yeay, cos I'm collecting the two sofas). Rain was going to help with the staying-in-to-write, but I'll have to leave that up to willpower after all...
ETA - eventually, 3648 words written today. Which isn't bad, and catches up a day's writing, but oh, it should have been so much more. I had the whole weekend - and it was lost in the fug of having a headache-y cold! Of course now when I'm sleepy enough for bed, my head has finally cleared and I just have a cold...
Hmmn - or another way of looking at it that doesn't sound quite so scary: 2092 words to write each day for another seven days. I can do that, right?!

Date: Sunday, 23 November 2014 05:59 pm (UTC)It's not at all part of the challenge that you pick an unfamiliar pairing - pairing's don't have anything at all to do with it, you can write about anything you like as long as it's a novel. It's not fandom-related at all, just writing-related. I've done it three times with Pros stories, and I rather wanted to see if I could write non-Pros (non-fandom!) to any great length. The answer may in fact be a resounding no at the moment... :( (Especially since I haven't yet started writing today after all - gaaaargh! Having a cold (and attendant headache) is definitely not helping...)
