I wrote 50,011 words in 30 days, with more to come. I also happen to be completely exhausted, but it is SO worth it. :) #nanowrimo

I WON!!!!

Three hours, 2,500 words to go! :)

Has four shots of espresso pulsing through my veins, and 4500 words left. I WILL WIN.

Going to bed- word count of 41,181. That's just under 9 thousand tomorrow- VERY do-able! :)

At 37k- at the rate I'm going, I will be well into the fourty thousands by tonight, with just enough time to finish up tomorrow. YEAH!!

Just watch. :)

This really is what it means to be a writer.

What December 1st will be like for me:



I find myself awake at *glances at clock* 6:03- wait 6:04 am.
"Why Molly, why on earth would YOU, YOU who is KNOWN for liking this whole sleep principle, why did you wake up at six in the morning?!" You may find yourself wondering. I tell you, dear readers. I did not get up. I never went to bed. (it's 6:05!) you also might be asking, "Why on earth didn't you go to bed! Sleep is good! Yay sleep!" I say,
"NaNoWriMo trumps sleep right now! Not that I've gotten TOO terribly much written, but I have stayed up with at least the INTENTION to write! Anywhoo, I need more coffee and AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!


Later. :)

You know you're a writer when you bring your laptop to a restaurant, and write while you're waiting for a table. Thank you #nanowrimo!

Soooooooooo.

Not much writing today. I'm tired, and a bit overdone.. I've written thousands of words daily as of late. Tomorrow though, after mom and I come back from our unnaturally early, coffee-enhanced black friday shopping, I will most likely be awake and type happy.

New Series!

I have decided to start a new series on this blog, called Timeless Thursdays. Timeless Thursday is a new regular post which will have a classic and timeless clips posted for the world to watch and enjoy- get your culture for the week in ONE video! So first up, the ULTIMATE Timeless Clip, I would like to introduce you all to a friend of mine, Lucy! (just a note- the clip may take awhile to load)

I'm tired. More tomorrow.

The nice people in the NaNoWriMo chat room told me that I should probably sleep, and then most likely the idea of writing more tomorrow would not be on my list right next to eating mushrooms and having an impromptu lobotomy. It will also probably make me not so terribly inclined to laugh at the cleverness of that last sentence, like I just did a moment ago. Happy Turkey Day lovelies!

Final Word Count of the Day: 32,216 words, 17,784 words left to write in five days, a very achievable goal!

Finally Finally, I leave you with this video, one that has been sustaining me these past two days.

31,099 words! :-D

In the car on our way. I sure hope my cat isn't inside.

Closing out the night with 29,580 words. Sleep well, world! :)

Truly recognizing the value of a "first draft" basically, they are almost NOTHING like the final product.

Writing and Such

As I sit here, absolutely father along in my novel than I was, say two hours ago, I think to myself (no, not "what a wonderful world...") about what I have actually accomplished this fiiine month of November. (pronounced Novembuhhhh) I have written what could very well turn out to be a novel. (insert a DUH here) At this point in time, I only have (I love how I'm now practically sneezing at these numbers) 28,500 something or other words, leaving 21,500 something or other words to write over my next six days. This may sound challenging, but equals out to say, 5000 words per day. You may remember that two Saturdays ago, I was able to survive writing 8,000 words in one day, and I actually procrastinated quite a bit that afternoon! Tomorrow, I will be in the car for five and a half hours, blocking out a decent amout of writing time then and there, PLUS, that 5.5 hour drive is taking me to the beach, one of my favorite places in the world, largely due to the fact that it is quiet, and relaxing, and I have no structue outside of spending my hours writing and dring copious amounts of coffee. Whee! While I'm thinking, I'm also randomly browsing the blogs of published authors who I find myself aspiring to one day follow -follow in their published footsteps, follow in the tradition in that they sat down at some time or another and managed to cough up a few sentences, and with those few sentences, lots of coffee and several dozen other people, eventually formed a novel. I'm halfway there already.

Presents, gifts, prizes for the starving author/writer/blogger would be appreciated on an incredible scale, and I will see you dear blog readers, whomever you may be, sometime ideally tomorrow. Any other news or major word count milestones will be posted throughout the night in brief, short posts. Oh, and by the way, comments are FREE to the author, and appreciated ALMOST as much as chocolate!

I hit 25 THOUSAND! :)

MacBeth is done! Not entirely sure how to feel...

Turning in with 22,777 words. Good night!
