Ditto....so ready to edit...and I just got underway.
Must resist going backwards...give in to short naps...think harder; invent more involved plot line.
Good luck to us all, amyhaha.

I feel this way and it's 11:00am. This does not bode well for the rest of my day.

MORE COFFEE!!
I ended up setting a goal for 500 words to stay on pace, wrote 775 :) Just finished my first 1000 word session of the day, wrote 1082 in 57 minutes. I'm getting faster!
I'm going to write my whole novel in Write or Die. It's amazing for keeping on track and not going back to edit! I think I might even spring for $10 for the desktop version when I need to turn off the Wi-Fi.

It's 3am. I hate my story. I enjoy doing homework just because it means I don't have to think about that pathetic piece of fiction. *SIGH*

Children, children! Calm yourselves! You can write it, I'm sure!
I think I can, I think I can!

Circus posted it in the "Unstuck" thread...It's brilliant! you type in a box, and if you don't keep typing, there are consequenses....like MmBop, babies howling, etc. Extremely motivating, if only so you don't have to explain the "banana song" in public....
Here's the link. http://writeordie.drwicked.com/ It's great for quelling the inner editor, because you can't scroll through too much (the "forgiving" time slot is about one minute that it allows you not to type, i don't have the guts to try "evil"). I copy and paste the last paragraph i was working on and type away... :)

At least you have set goals! I'm still trying to start this monstrosity. :P
This is an awesome whining session. Next time I'll bring some cheese. ;) (God, did I really just say that? I blame sleep deprivation). Coffee anyone?

Coffee doesn't go well with wine. Or cheese really. I've tried.
Go for coffee and kahlua and 5 hour energy drinks and absinthe and cognac and pixy sticks!
Sleep and sanity are for the weak and wordless! GOGOGOGOGOGO!
