Final NaNoWriMo word count

I did it! I won at around 3 p.m. yesterday. I am very proud of myself. I wrote consistently all month, and now, the trick will be to keep up the habit.

Whew! Now I have to find a Thank G-d It's Over party, and commiserate in person with my fellow wrimos.

November 29th word count

Tried to get a bit more in last night, but that didn't work out so well. Le sigh.

I have 11 1/2 hours of work left and 2,859 words left to write. I know I can do this, but of course, all I want to do right now is sleep.

November 27th & 28th word count

Arrg. The last couple of days have been rough. I had one more day to do family stuff before going home, and then I spent the day packing up and driving home, which took 5 and a half hours. I'm beat.

Thankfully I have tricked myself well. Tomorrow I will be working in relative quiet (if everything goes like normal) for twelve hours tomorrow. Now, it's possible work will be absolutely crazy all day, anything is possible. But it would be the first time in these labs I've ever seen. They're quiet on a regular basis. And I've had 4,000 word days under those conditions before. I can do it. I've promised myself a present. I can do it for you, Yoda.

November 26th word count

Almost... there... There is almost, sort of, a story happening. I have almost completely eliminated contractions from my writing, and the habit of writing "everything" as "every thing" would be annoying if it was going on much longer.
Less than 5,000 words, and less than three days left.

Will I continue to write after NaNoWriMo?
Will these various stories resolve themselves?
Will I ever stop speaking so dramatically?

All these questions answered and more, in the next installment of...
Does any one give a shit?!

November 25th word count

Whew! Nearly caught up yesterday, but it was really hard. I had to spend time with my family, so I was writing and talking to them.

The end is in sight now. If I can just keep pushing, I know I'll make it.

November 24th word count

No word count for yesterday, since I spent 7 hours trying to drive from Houston to San Antonio... Ugh. Next year I think I'll wait until midnight to get on the road.
Anyway, here's Tuesday's word count.



Today, I vow that a Tryptophan overdose will not keep me from getting my word count in. Less than 5 days left and I still have over 12,000 words to go!

November 23rd word count

My test is in a couple of hours, so tonight I will be a writing fiend.
7,000 words in a day?
Sure. Why not?
