This morning as my alarm went off on my cell phone, I pretty much hated the world. I'm more of a morning person, but I absolutely hate getting up at 5:45 every single morning for school. So I squinted at my phone and turned the alarm off. Then I did probably the one mistake that everyone makes multiple times a year. I told myself I'd only sleep for two more minutes. Which is why I was shocked to be woken up exactly twenty-seven minutes later than I had planned. Which is why I'm writing to you now at a time when I should be in school. I just skipped today and took a much needed breather. We weren't doing anything important today anyways, I just wanted to be home. My mom also left for Savanna, GA today and I wanted to be here to tell her bye.
Great news! It's the second day of November which means....It's the second day of NaNoWriMo! I'm super excited because I've never done this before. The object of NaNoWriMo, for those of you that have no idea what I'm talking about, is to write 50,000 words on a novel by the end of the month. At the moment, I have about 3,000 words so far. I'm very disappointed that I haven't had as much time as I would like, to just plaster myself to the computer screen and write. So instead I've been hand writing some of it any chance I get and then coming home and typing it all into the computer. It takes twice the amount of time, but when I feel like writing, I write. Which half the time is at school.
How did this go? And are you planning on doing it this November?
ReplyDeleteI got about 30,000 words into it and then I abandoned it for a different idea :) I'm working on a novel right now, so I doubt I'll try to do it this November.
ReplyDeleteWell, you got further than me! I think I reached 17,000 (maybe, I can't quite remember.)
DeleteYou should still try it this November, just because it's fun. :) And don't you want those free novels?!haha- I do! I have a feeling I won't be able to finish this time either, because I'll be extremely busy, but I'm going to try!
Haha, I might try it :) I really do want the free copies!!! :) It was fun, I just wish they would have NaNoWriMo in the summer so that I would have more time haha.
DeleteThey do have it in the summer.. June & August! I don't think all the prizes still apply though.
