Okay, it's the end of day 12 and I'm at 39 505 words. I've only written 9 505 words in the past 5 days... yeah, I suck with my only1901 words on average these days. Unfortunately, it's because I'm sick. But yeah. It's a good thing that I wrote 30K the first week.
I'm hoping that I can pull off 50K by Friday, because that is the halfway point. Can I do it? Possibly. Who knows though, at least with the rate that I'm going haha. Whoops. I can definitely do it, the only issue is I have a term paper I really should be writing.
Yeah... bedtime for me.

Well, I have an assignment I have that is due on Friday. I am really postponing working on it, which I know is bad. Gah! I really just wish I did it before or that it was less boring or something. It really is a pain.
So, on another note, I read Tempted (the new House of Night) book yesterday. And I have to say, the ending made me cry. I was really upset that (SPOILERS IN WHITE) they killed off Heath. Seriously, I loved him. He seemed the most... well, he seemed to be the best match for her. Plus, there was at the beginning of the book when Stevie Rae did what looked like what was going to be stupid. And at the end when everybody let Zoey sit on the bench from Aphrodite's vision by herself. But, on a happier note... She broke up with super-controlling, creepy Erik! =D Hooray!
I should probably get to work, before I give into my temptation and go back to reading for fun.

Well, I haven't posted in about 10 months. Well then. I guess it's time for a quick update.
I wrote about 25 000 words in July. Technically that isn't a "win", but I wasn't expecting to hit 50K with the amount of story I had left to write anyway. So I'm happy with that.
a
November is 7 days, 1 hour, and 41 minutes away. That means I don't have too much time left to prepare for NaNo this year. I am quite nervous about this year, but I'm not sure why. I'm sure that the story has at least 70 000 words in it, which is plenty to get me to my tentative goal of 75K. After all, worst case scenario, I just write a bit of an extended epilogue.
This year I'm doing a sequel to my novel from last year. This is the one with a lot of drama, so I'm sure it is going to be a bit of a rough month for my emotions. I have to kill some people I really, really do not want to kill. I think I'm going to end up crying a lot. Oh dear! Alex, my MMC, and Elena, my FMC, are two of the only ones I know the fates of for sure. I'm not too sure that I want to know who else dies though. *sigh*
There should be some pretty intense scenes this year... I have various types of abuse, a lot of romance, and some scenes with a lot more physical action (both sexually and not sexually) than I am used to writing. It is going to make for an interesting month, getting to do things I'm not used to. The only issue is, I'm not really sure what my state of mind is going to be after writing some of these scenes. As some NaNo-ers already know, I suffer from anxiety and depression. That may make it difficult to not "chicken out" of what I know has to happen.
*bites finger nails*
Wish me luck guys! Good luck to anybody who bothers to read this.

Now, time for the Heir Apparent summary from www.nanowrimo.org :
Now that William is king, the country seems to be spiralling downwards at an even more rapid rate. Yet heir apparent Alex's attempts to talk to his father fall on deaf ears, which leads Elena to realize that her secret relationship with him is far from the only thing that could cause her problems.
It quickly becomes clear that revolution is inevitable. As freedom becomes a thing of the past, some life altering decisions have to be made. After all, no one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow.

Yesterday was the halfway point. While I was hoping that I would have been well ahead of 25 000 words by that point, I "only" was at 26K. Ugh. By the end of today I'm hoping that I'll give myself a bit more of a boost and manage to get to 30K, that way I'll be 60% of the way to winning. This novel is going to take much longer than 50K to write, at least at the rate it's currently moving at. I'm going to keep going NaNo-style until its done, so I'm hoping I can get the majority of it written this month. I'm not counting on it, but it would be nice.
I have 4K to write today, so I should get started. After all, if I don't start soon I'll get distracted again and that would not be good. But if I do start, I may end up talking myself in circles and that wouldn't be good either. This is all more complicated than it looks.
Congrats to everybody who's hit 25K already. We're right on track. =)

On the bright side, while at the mall I did get my final Secret Santa gift. And... Kyle's Christmas present. I'm proud that I thought up the idea completely on my own, though I'm worried (of course) that he won't like it. I know he wouldn't say it to my face but... I still can worry, right?
On other notes... five days until NaNo and only four until Halloween. My costume is ready to go and, if I do say so myself, it is pretty awesome. =)

Well, there's one week left until NaNoWriMo. I need to get started on this. Seriously.
Alex (MMC) and Elena (FMC) are pretty well planned. As for the rest of the characters... well... let's just say there's a bit to be desired from them. I would appreciate it if I could make up my mind on my revolutionaries. They sure are good at keeping secrets. *grumble* Good for them in the story but not helping me right now!!
Plot is pretty well planned out at least. Young adult, historical, romance for the win. =D It may not be the most popular genre in the book, but I love it. So far. I guess. I suppose I should actually get around to writing it to say that I love it, but meh.
My NaNo username is Anastasia and the story title is "Nobody but You". If you haven't already signed up, join the craziness at www.nanowrimo.org for the month of November. (C'mon, you still have a week left!)
