So, NaNo was going okay, then I fell on my face toward the end of last week. I got my act together on Sunday and managed just over 6,500 words that day...and paid the price on Monday. I have a pinched nerve ... http://christinedabo.com/blog/2008/11/19/nano-daywhat/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=NaNo - Day…what? Okay, knowing that I'd slipped behind a bit with my word count has made me more determined than ever to beat NaNo this year. I managed to sit down and get another 2k done on The Bond That Saves Us, putting me at 22,461 words. I'm not completely happy, but ... http://christinedabo.com/blog/2008/11/14/nano-day-13-2/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=NaNo - Day 13 Yeah I wrote something! I know, this is NaNo and I'm supposed to write something, but after two days of nothing, it felt good. I managed over 2000 words, am well into chapter five, and have officially crossed the 20,000 word mark. It's not pretty, but it's progress. Tonight, I'm ... http://christinedabo.com/blog/2008/11/13/nano-day-12-update/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=NaNo - Day 12 Update My husband made it back from Iceland...and I haven't written a word in two days. Monday was nuts with all of the running around I had to do, Guides, picking hubby up, etc., so I just didn't have a chance. Yesterday was just as crazy, and to be honest, I ... http://christinedabo.com/blog/2008/11/12/nano-day-10-and-11-update/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=NaNo - Day 10 and 11 Update So I did well yesterday. I managed to get over 3k written, taking me up to 18,185 words written. I'm a bit disappointed, as I'm usually a lot further along in my writing at this point. That said, this past week was more than a little insane. Tonight, I have ... http://christinedabo.com/blog/2008/11/10/nano-day-9-update/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=NaNo Day 9 Update I did well yesterday with my writing. Not as much as I'd hoped, but I had a lot of other things on my plate. By the time I turned my computer off, I made it to 15,109 for a word count. I'm going to try and hit things as hard ... http://christinedabo.com/blog/2008/11/09/nano-day-8/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=NaNo - Day 8 Well Friday was a good day for me. I managed to get 2k words written and got up to 12,072 for a total word count. I haven't had a chance to get any writing done yet, but I plan on fully caffeinating myself and hit the keyboard hard. I ... http://christinedabo.com/blog/2008/11/08/nano-day-7-back-on-track/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=NaNo Day 7 - Back on track 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!!!! http://christinedabo.com/blog/2008/11/07/nano-day-6-bust/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=NaNo Day 6 - Bust! 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 ... http://christinedabo.com/blog/2008/11/05/still-going/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=NaNo Day 5 - Still Going… 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 ... http://christinedabo.com/blog/2008/11/05/nano-day-four/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=NaNo Day Four
