Life. Blogged.

So... Day 19 is here and NaNo is finished, for me at least.

I hit 50,000 words this morning. I worked through the night with a series of twists even I never saw coming. Hence, Day 18 kind of got overlooked. Sorry about that.

Anywho, though NaNo is done, the book is not. I still have quite a bit of plot to unravel.

On the other hand, I have also thought of a new blog series. It could even be adapted into its own little book (just thinking out loud).

Later,

That is 3,463  words for day nine. Not my best, but this was the hardest day to write. I think I hit a wall of not wanting to take the time to write. There are so many other things I need to be doing, important things, and my mind tries to tell me that writing a novel is a waste of time. It is not going to pay the bills or make me happy. It just feels like it is in the way. I know this is just my mind screwing with me, but I really wish NaNo was over so I could have free time for me, not for writing a vanity project.

Worst of all, I am pushing myself to the brink. In nine days I have hit the halfway point. That is too much and I know it. But I can;t help myself. I want to hit 50K so I can throw my hands up and say I am done. I can always come back to this story, make it better, and fill in the gaps. But right now, at this moment, I just want it to be over with.

Grr....
