It's less than a week to NoWD. I'm an adult, I don't believe in Santa Claus any more, the tooth fairy is busy filling my teeth instead of taking them and the easter bunny hopped it long ago. But I do get excited for things, even as an adult some things can still make me feel like a little kid. Looking forward to NoWD is one of them and finishing my 50000 words is another.
The thing is, I was hoping to have those words completed by Wednesday, now as I sit here in my house all alone (the kids are away for the weekend) I have been typing most of last night. After 2 hours of sleep and waking at 6.30am I am typing again. It's now 11.30 and I have just stopped to write this up.
The thing is, I'm not going to finish on Wednesday. At the moment my wordcount is 43448. That's right forty three thousand (and a bit) I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I had no sleep the night before last, none at all. I had an hour's nap yesterday and last night I snuck in 2 hours sleep. Food? pfft. I'm surviving on doughnuts, kelloggs crunchy nut cornflakes and rootbeer (waves at "Alicia and Anne"). I haven't shaved in 3 days and I look and feel terrible. (note to staff: I censored myself there, just to save you guys the work
) But Nano has consumed me. I'm going to pull this out of the bag and get my 50000 today. Yes I will. I'm a very determined person, if I want something I'll go after it till I get it, If I can't get it I'll move on. Nano? I'm coming for you. I'll get my 50000 words and when I do there's going to be one big celebration. I'll have a shave, go out for a meal and walk back into the daylight that I haven't seen in a while.
But for now? I think my characters are calling me. Apparently there's about to be a motorbike accident.
EDIT: See how tired I am? I posted in the wrong blog *shakes head and reaches for rootbeer*
