NaNoWriMo. I mean, the word NO is in the acronym! 50,000 words, 30 days, it sounds pretty easy, right? wrong. that's 1667 words a day and sure the first maybe 15,000 words are easy and just flow, but then you still have 35,000 words to go and there's a whole lot of "no" going on. It's day 19 and i fell like i should be starting a diary like
"Day 3. Feeling great. On a roll and two days ahead of schedule"
"Day 10. Slowing down a bit. Running out of momentum but i think i can pick it back up."
"Day 19. My story tried to die again today but i brought it back to life once again. not sure how long i can keep this up."
i don't know what keeps bringing me back. Like the website is so happy and pumps you up and stuff with its little pep talks and "you an do it"s but i'm 9000% done with this. Though i have to finish this year. i only have 19000 left to go. that's doable, right? I've given up 4 times with my highest word count of 25,000. THIS IS MY YEAR. Granted this crap aint getting published....ever. but just the knowledge that i finished will be enough to get me through something. I'll buy myself a nice t-shirt or something. Or maybe get it bound myself so i can put it on my shelf and be like "Hey look. i wrote that. suck it."
So: moral of the story. Don't. Just. No.
