Things that shame us.

Last night after the write-in, I told myself that I wouldn't stop by the Nestle cookie store because I don't need the sugar.

But I did anyway. :(

To make things worse, the cookie was really bad. It was stale and brittle. Definitely not worth the $1.70.

Last night I had homework so I only wrote 1,000 words. =( I went to bed feeling very unfulfilled.

I also realized that one of my characters was beginning to sound a little Meyers-esque. Less shameful, though, because I went on a quest to make him as messed up and unappealing as possible and succeeded. =D Huzzah!

I have written exactly 200 words since Monday night. This makes me sad. :(

After the 2800 craphacktacular verbiage I spewed out yesterday, I have decided to start over. I just could not continue going with what I had written. It was starting out way too dark and pessimistic and dragging me down. Way too much reveal of character internal conflict in the first 2 pages! It was a good decision, I think - I'm writing much better now, although now I'm so far behind it makes me want to cry.

And I'm tired to boot and dying to go to bed.. I can't wait for this weekend so I can catch up. I may have to give up my hike or trail run so I have a chance to hitting the finish line with 50K.

I had a grand idea for my story last night, which I ran with. I actually managed to write-out a good 9 pages worth of work, meaning that I didn't finish until somewhere around 4am. However, when it came to typing it out and getting a word count, I fell short.
Instead, I ended up watching three different movies and playing video games.
I suppose that would not have happened if I had typed it out to begin with, but I find I write my best work by hand.

(I should probably get to typing it now...)

Hang in their bunnies4ever!

So far, I've deleted around 2,000 words from my manuscript. It was depressing, but I just couldn't write with things being so wrong with my story.

I am writing an essay for my Silent Film class today, which means I probably will not have any time for writing anything worthwhile *cough* NaNo *cough*.

The shameful part?

I'm such a slacker that I waited until the day the essay is due. *headdesk*

A nano hint is if you have words you want to delete, just "strikethrough" the text in your word processor. That way, when you verify your count with the website, it will count the words. I, for one, think the words should count because we had to get those words out of our system.

As for shame, I didn't write on the bus yesterday. And I watched Netflix last night instead of writing. Why, oh why, do I do that?

I went and saw Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers at the Launchpad last night. Although I had regrets about not getting to write going in, I felt no shame by the time I came out. ;)

All caught up now.

Had too much homework last(Wednesday) night and only managed to fork out about 500 words. 30 of them were done at work.

Then at the write in word wars today, I put in the most uncreative descriptions into my manuscript. I wanna cry.

This is my first year writing! Lend me your strength, veterans!
