Day 15

I seriously only need to write 396 words today so that I'd be up where I should be according to the 30 day thing.

And I cannot make myself write. 396 measly words!

But again, it's the thing of walking in the door at 7 after having run errands after work, sitting down to get organized and then getting on the phone with people so that your whole evening is frittered away. I get too wound up and don't feel like writing. Especially after having an especially hectic, busy day at work where I had to stay after 15 minutes to get stuff organized (and I didn't even finish everything. *sigh*) for tomorrow.

And it sounds like Becca and Emma will be waiting for me when I get home from work, so there will be no time other than work tomorrow to write.

I'm thinking I may have gotten as far as I'm going to (unless I write a lot on Sunday) with NaNo this year. With my week of vacation and Thanksgiving and my lack of motivation this week...I just don't think it's happening.

And I need to go to bed to get some sleep under my belt for dealing with two rambunctious children tomorrow.

So, yeah...another day, another excuse. *grin*

Holding steady at 24609 with 396 words to go to make me current. *sigh*

Maybe tomorrow.

(Why does the Dan story suddenly come to a screeching halt for me now??)

I think I need a vacation. *G*

Susan, I know you can do it! I'm totally in awe of anyone who can write 2800 words a day - any day. I've been struggling with my Secret Santa story and this is the first day I've done over 700 words. Today I did about 1100, and that was at least an hour of solid work. I so want my recipient to enjoy the story, and it's imperative that I finish it by Monday or Tuesday in order to have time for it to be edited. So it not only needs to stay under 10,000 words, but it has to end soon and be (at least a little bit) good.

Um, was that enough about me? You can do it, I know you can!
