So yesterday I meant to do a 10k day but I didn't quite make it (darn you Skyrim and other distractions). So, today is a 15k day and now that it's going to be on the forums, I have to hold myself to it. To make this easier and more of a desire rather than just something I must do.. I'm rewarding myself. Silly little rewards, but they're justified in this case I think. For my first 5k, I get a fun-sized kit-kat bar. For my second 5k I get some apple soda. For my third 5k I get to try and play Skyrim. If not.. I clean my room. (Lame).
So here we go, starting at the :44 for 20 minutes, shooting for about 1.5k.
I'm so tempted to do one for tomorrow. I tired for a 15k day back on the first but only got about half way. Right now 15k would take me to a little over my goal for the month. I've only ever managed 12k in a day before, and that was 2 years ago.
Oh, what the hell. What's the worst that can happen? I get closer to my goal? I'm in! I'll try and write 3k before I got to bed After that I'll figure out my rewards for the rest of the words when I wake up.
Tomorrow, I'm having a 15k day. It'll be a record for me, but I think I could do it. I'm going to start at 8AM (no excuses!) and will get: First 5k- ten minutes of internet time Second 5k- a smoothie Third 5k- two mini snickers
And I'll be writing all day if need be. How many hours did this take y'all?
I don't know if I'll make my 15k today. :/ Going with my dad to get something ate up two good hours that I had planned on spending writing. I can write about 5k in an hour and now I have to leave again soon and then.. well.. then it's pretty much time for bed. Ugh. Too many distractions today and I'm so far behind my goal for this year. :/
I'm doing a 15k on Wednesday. Half day at school. :P Also going for around 7.5k - 10k on Thanksgiving. I need some awesome motivation. OH! GOT IT! I'm going to get me something really nice on Black Friday. That'll be it. Only after 22.5 - 25k total D<

Going to try this between and after classes tomorrow -- although I already know I have some family plans after that (6th year of NaNo and my parents still don't know about it, so I have to act normal XD) If I'm lucky, I can make myself crank out at least 5k in between classes, though I may have to seclude myself in the library to do that.
First 5k: Fifteen minutes online Second 5k: One and a half episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (I started one yesterday, and half an episode doesn't sound very rewarding. XD) Third 5k: Sleep. Or NCIS, depending on the time.
Blech. I didn't make my 15k tonight so I sign off with just under 10k but I'm at my 100k mark. plan on making 110k at least tomorrow or I basically just smack myself around and spend all day Thanksgiving writing. I'm going to make my 150k goal if it kills me!
I'm way behind on my word count so today's going to be a 15k day, I hope!
First 5k - M&M peanuts Second 5k - two episodes of Community Third 5k - gaming time! (either Batman Arkham City or stupid Facebook games :P)
I've had a super long day so I don't think I can get writing done until I'm awake, cutting back on my writing time, but I think I can do it! I don't think I've ever done more than 5k in a day, but this WILL happen!
1k- I can eat... 5k- I can turn my Internet on for 10 minutes every hour 10k- I can turn my Internet on for 15 minutes every hour 12k- I can go on tinychat And each k more, I can read another pep talk.
To hit my goal, I need 15k each day for the next 5 days. o-o I better get with it- 16.5 hours in my day, and I have relatives here!
Hitting 105k: Break from word sprints and some candy. Hitting 110k: Break from word sprints and lunch Hitting 115k: Skyrim and/or going to my friend's house.
So, starting at 7:28 am with 20 minute word sprints until I die (aka get to 105k).
15k Day (Reward Yourself!)
