On days like today, I feel like I am torturing myself to understand.

And it's only the fourth day.

Someone tell me I am not insane, please?

Ok. You're not insane.

But then again if I'm insane can you really trust that what I have said is correct?

Anyone doing NaNoWriMo while trying to maintain some semblance of a life is insane.

'Scuse me, I have to go and . . . um . . . write.

If all else fails, you're doing it because we will mock you mercilessly if you give up now ;D

I did not want to get up at 5am this morning, but I did it because I told myself otherwise I'd be a wimp! And I got 2000 more words. Hurrah!

Honestly I think all those times I've done essays the night before they are due is paying off. Last night I did nearly 3,000 words in about 2 hours. Including spell check. Or maybe I'm just a fast typer.

weeeell I'm still way behind everyone! To be fair I only got to start two days ago, but still. *glances at word count* I should probably get off the boards and stop procrastinating!

Yeah that's what slows me down. I get distracted easily and procrastinate alot. Even with stuff I enjoy.

procrastination is a very carefully developed tool. I've been perfecting it for the past..well ever! ;-)

I got another 3k out, go me! Then the sun beckoned, and I tried to resist, I really did. I'm pleased with 3k today. Maybe I'll blob in front of a movie tonight.

Did someone say something about torture? *looks for strawberries* haha!

I'm no longer torturing myself.

I'm also no longer doing NaNo.

Must begin torturing myself again.
