Ugh! That about sums up my day yesterday. I didn’t do any writing. Of course, I’m behind where I want to be, which sucks, but I’m determined to get caught up and pass that goal this weekend.
And now for some Friday fun…The Final Countdown!!!!

Still writing, trying to hit my goal…
Here’s a video to keep you busy. 
I love Lifehouse, and this song gives me chills. It also fits the scene I’m working on right now perfectly.
UPDATE: I’m about to head to bed. I managed to get another 2014 words written today, which brings my five day total to 10,071 words. And now…sleep.
I have to say, day four was a hard one for me. I’ve been feeling under the weather for a few days now, and as a result my creativity has been sapped. That said, I managed to get 1326 words written, getting me to 8057 total so far.
I didn’t get up early to write (my daughter is sick too and had crawled in bed with me), so I’ll have to try and get a bunch done tonight once we get home from Brownies. I’d do some on my lunch hour, but I have a meeting. 
Okay everyone, I’ve finally been able to get onto the NaNoWriMo website to get my stats updated. But I’ve noticed I’m seriously lacking in friends! Someone needs to take pity on my and add me. I need the extra motivation to see how well you are all doing.
So log in to the NaNoWriMo sight and add Christine99 as your buddy!
Don’t make me beg…it’s really not pretty…
So day three for me is just about done. I’ve only managed about 500 words on my NaNo book. Firstly, I had to get my magazine story in to the editor today. That was 1,600 words. Then I had my newsletter to go, final line edits to finish, and a blurb to proof. Really, I had a very productive day, AND managed to get a bit written on my book.
I’m really quite pleased.
My husband is off to Island tomorrow, so I’ll have six days to get some major writing done. Of course, I’ve been sick today with the flu, and that hasn’t helped my drive. Please send positive vibes my way so I’m not too ill.
So I totally forgot to give you all an update yesterday about NaNo day 2. That’s because I was so busy writing! So far I’m up to 6200 words on The Bond That Saves Us. That’s about a chapter and a bit in, and so far it’s going well.
It usually takes me about three chapters of writing before I hit my stride with any story, get the plot going, get the hero and heroine together…sex…the usual. I’ve figured out the basics of the main plot, and have my character’s flaws and internal goals just about crystalized in my head. That’s good for me. 
I haven’t done any writing yet for day three, but I plan on jumping in tonight after supper. I’ll be happy if I met my minimum of 1k tonight, as hubby is leaving for Island tomorrow.
Yes, Island…
So I’ll see what I can get done before I spend time with him. The only positive thing about him going away (besides getting some uber cool pictures when he gets home), will be the opportunity to write every night until I can’t see straight.
How are you making out with NaNo? Are you doing it?
Man, I didn’t think I was going to make it today. Not only did I have to take the kids to swimming, clean the house, and get groceries, I had company over for supper. Despite all that, I managed to get 3101 words written today for NaNo. I’m thrilled to say the least, but now I’m completely fried!
I’ll be back tomorrow to give you all a more complete update.
