NaNoWriMo Day 5 (mid-day update)

Word Count: 9705

Boo-ya!  Nearly 10K in less than the first week.  I'm feeling pretty good and comfortable with my "slow and steady" approach.  Granted, I did get about a day ahead at last night's write-in.

The write-in was fun.  I participated in my first word war, sadly I lost, but it was a great way to gain some words!  It's quite exhilarating to just get so in the zone that your fingers are flying across the keyboard and you aren't really needing to put much thought into what you're writing, it all just flows.  I will continue going to the write-ins this year.

I'm still really behind on my crochet project, but I've been so obsessed with writing that it got put on the back burner.  I've really got to whittle out some time to crochet this weekend.  I'm going to be doing word sprints and hooking sprints!

Aaaaand I'm done for the day!  Thank goodness too, I really need to work on my crochet projects tonight (and do those chores that I've been putting off since Monday!)

So only one update for today, how is everyone else doing??!!  I want to know!

Until tomorrow, keep writing!

Right on track.  I'm trying to do this year's NaNoWriMo slow and steady.  I've rushed ahead in years past and ran out of plot.  My thinking is that if I take longer this year I'll have more time to think up ideas!  Let's see if this works....

Yay!  Going to be busy tonight, so only needing to write a couple hundred words is fine by me!  Go me!

Yes I finally found time to write!  Chores were abandoned until tomorrow, and much wine was consumed!  (Also had to work writing around watching the Giants win!  Yahoo!)  I'm calling it a night.  Now I've got to go crochet!

Still sad?  You betcha!  Today is my carpool-buddies last day at work.  I took her out to lunch as a send-off.  So there were no words a-flowin' from my fingertips at lunch.....here's hoping I can get a start tonight!  I've got to at least reach my 1667 words today!

Sad?  Yes it is!  It's 8:40am, and the last two years I would have already passed the 5K mark on words, but this year, since the 1st is a Monday, that's a no-can-do!  I need sleep for my long drive to work, so I was in bed for the start.  I love sitting up and counting down, "Happy NaNoWriMo!"  I can't actually start until my lunch break, hopefully I can get a good start, because it's Monday and that also means chore-night when I get home.  I've got to do dishes and vacuum before returning to my words.  Sigh, not a very eventful WriMo yet!
