Words and teeth.
Nov. 24th, 2003 10:57 pmI've been hacking at my NanoNovel one word at a time this afternoon, while keeping an eye on other things in the background. I'm having a very hard time with it today.. my back is killing me. I've tried sitting in a thousand different ways, including on the couch in the livingroom. (Dismal failure.) I laid down for a few minutes and it still didn't help, so I finally decided I couldn't wait until it got done before I started applying myself to the task at hand. I've now written 439 very painful words.. the flow isn't there. I'm a little bit behind, but not majorly so. I need to write just a little over 2000 words a day from now until the end of the month to get it done, and that's the goal I've had all along. I took off three full days and didn't make it to the right number on a few more occasions. It shouldn't be a problem, really. I'm just about to get to the point where a bunch of stuff will happen pretty quickly, and that should help. I can stop writing filler scenes then. I just don't want to end the story too quickly, for once they admit their love to each other, the book is essentially over, and I have too many words left for that to happen yet. ;)
What do you know? After I wrote that paragraph, I actually got back to work, and tonight I wrote like mad for half an hour. I'm now at 38,018 words, which leaves me needing to write 1,997 per day for the next six days. This is do-able, I think. :) My back also stopped hurting sometime in the afternoon, so basically what I've said is that the first paragraph is a worthless piece of crap that I should delete. Oh, well.
We walked up to the parents and had dinner and played with my niece a little while. It is freaking cold outside. Yesterday, we took a walk up the road when we went off to visit family. It was about 72 degrees, brilliantly sunny. Today, it's hovering around freezing. There were snow flurries when M took his morning break, there was sleet here at about the same time. It's crazy. It dropped forty degrees overnight and will be even colder tonight. Completely unreal.
A certain special friend had her first tooth filling today, so I created the following to commemorate the occasion. Please remember that I'm not an artist. I just play one on the internet.
