Last Day of NaNo, Did I Make It to 50k????

THE ANSWER IS YESSSS!

I'm not even going to draw it out in anyway to add suspense. That sounds like something that a person would do if they cared, BUT I DON'T BECAUSE I FINISHED!!!

During October, I kept on thinking- Oh, I can totally do 50k! and- There is no way.

BUT I PROVED MYSELF RIIIGHT! AND WRONG!XD

I'm so happy! It's great, I have no idea how I even wrote so much. Like, it took me a year to write around 80k, so what in the world? How did it take me only a month to write 50k! AGHHH!!!

I am so happy.

Did you win NaNo?

P.S. Now to go keep on writing because I am no way near to finishing my book. That will probably be my goal for next year, to actually FINISH it.XD

NaNo Week #2 - Could I Write Any Less? + Hijacked by Jaclynn

Hi everyone!

Week two of NaNo is over, and WE ARE HALFWAY THROUGH!!! AGGGHHH!!!

Check out how my second week went!:)

 

Day Eight!

1,376

Not a ton of words on Monday, but I started late.;) This was the day that I made my last post, so I don't really have much to report.

 

Day Nine!

0

Y'all, I have no idea what the heck happened. I think I basically just decided I didn't wanna, and so I didn't.XD But unfortunately, this was not the only day of the week I did not write...O.O It was Election Day, I was anxious, and I'm pretty sure it was way too late to write, plus I didn't want to write...XD

But despite me not writing a word, I found out what Jaclynn and I were doing for the rest of our lives-

So, if we drop off from all of existence, check the sewers.

Day Ten!

1,905

I had to skip out on work this day because I was sick. But it was epic when I found out that this one kid missed me. (I work at my church's childcare.;D) Considering writing, it was an okay day! I got over my daily word count, which is always a plus! But this whole week I've been feeling like- Oh, hey, I'm really ahead. I don't need to write.

PAH!XD

Jaclynn and I talked about how we held pens, and I swore I would draw Jaclynn whatever she wanted me to if she wrote 700 words, which she didn't.XD SO I'M OFF THE HOOK!XD

 

Day Eleven!

2,290

I reached 40% and 20k words! It was epic!XD But I didn't get to write when I wanted to that day, and was in torture a lot because I wanted to write, but could only write on my phone!XD I hate writing on my phone, but ended up doing it. I texted Jaclynn a ton about NaNo and helped her figure out some more conflict for her story as well! We also attempted to text solely in emojis as conversation, which worked...sorta...

I'm pretty positive this month I have texted Jaclynn saying- WRITE!!! -approximately one million-jillion times.XD

 

Day Twelve!

0

Haaaa... I don't know why I didn't wri-

I mean, like, that day wasn't that busy-

*clears throat*

Well...

I did get to spend some time with my oldest sister and decide I want to do something new with my hair, something like--



And yes, something that is only a bit longer cut than that. I am very nervous to even consider cutting my hair short, BUT I NEED SOMETHING NEW. AND PINK. AND YEAH.

(I am such a hermit Cookie.... O_O )

(I was just hijacked by Dee.)
(No. No she wasn't. AT ALL. O_O )

(I've never typed that face ever before, Dee)
(SO WHAT?!)

(She's sleeping over right now. She's literally typing over me.)
(I'm not sleeping right now, you liar.)

(That's totally what I meant. We are sitting on my bed whilst I make this post. She's just staring at the screen. Weirdo.)
(You never say the word "whilst" so why can't you make this FACE: O_O )

(I TYPE "WHILST" A LOT)

Okay. Now it's time for DEE TO STOP.XD XD

(DAAAAAA!!!)

 

Day Thirteen!

(She's trying to find out what she did this day by scrolling through our texts, so I might as well type, ammirite? XD
HI DIDDLY DEE - A HERMIT'S LIFE FOR ME!)

 

0

I literally only watched YouTube today... Hm... I think I need to rethink my life choices.
(*evil glare* YES, YOU DO. WRITE.)

(YOU WRITE, YOU JERK)

(*extremely long offended gasp that goes on for a millennium* HOW DARE YOU?!)

(You didn't even gasp.)

(My mouth was hanging open for a while. It's called a silent gasp, Cookie... -_- )

I actually DID do something today! I did a facial mask with my sister, Kendra, and watched a movie. But that's not writing...:0

 

Day Fourteen!

3,845

I ACTUALLY WROTE A LOT TODAY! XD

*glares at Dee*

(Well, whoopdy doo! -_- ) XD

Maybe it was the fact that I had cranberry bliss bars to help me through. And hot cocoa. And many other sweets.

And here's a picture of me texting Jaclynn whilst (SEE WHILST) not writing.XD

(she was texting me cause I was sad. Nice Cookie Doodle Pop of Dack-A-Woodle-World.... :) XD )

Yes. Yes, I was.

AND NOW 'TIS TUESDAY AND I HAVE NOT WRITTEN. THAT IS WHAT ME AND DEE SHALT DO NOW IF WE CAN FOCUS.

(*groooaaaannnn* ME NO WANNA)

 

Oh, I  forgot Monday. I wrote 615 words and reached my half way point! YAYYYYY!!!XD So, yeah.

 

NOW ONTO WRITING!

Have you reached halfway through your book yet?:)

NaNo Week #1 - Colds and Wishing It Was Cold

Hi everyone!

NaNo has officially been going on for a whole week. I can't believe it!! November is going to go by so dang fast! Like, seriously, it's already a week in. *shudders*

But you don't want to hear about my constant gawking of how fast time flies, you wanna know how I'm doing with NaNo!

I think...

If you're reading this then you must be...

Day One!

2,157

Other then the fact that I had such a hard time falling asleep on the night of Halloween, which means being really tired, DAY ONE WENT WELL! Tuesday's one of the busier days of the week, but I managed to write lots in between activities. Especially the biggest activity---

THE LODESTAR LAUNCH PARTY!!XD It was so awesome, but my sister, my mom, and I had to wait in line to get Shannon Messenger to sign our book for two whole hours. STILL, IT WAS FUN! And I got the book, so...XD LOL!

Plus, I got a supply of the best soda ever--

Yes, so good.XD

So, although lots of people started off their days with like 10k or something crazy, I only got my daily word count in!

Day Two!

1,998

Getting up early and having to go to work is definitely not going to help get you in the writing zone, AND I didn't get to FaceTime Jaclynn when I was writing, so this may or may not have been my face when she rejected my FaceTime invitation-

Then again, she could FaceTime later, and I said no because I was done writing for the day.XD

AND CAN I JUST SAY HOW HARD IT IS TO WRITE WHEN YOU HAVE LODESTAR RIGHT NEXT TO YOU WITH ALL OF ITS AWESOMENESS?!?!?!?

Day Three!

2,104

Today was the day of two things- READING SO MUCH and pure I DON'T WANNA WRITE.

Later on, I FaceTimed Jaclynn as I drank my soda, but wasn't writing. I had a legit sad face going on while I sat on the bottom steps of my house's staircase, yet once I asked Jaclynn to take a screen shot, I couldn't keep a straight face. This was the closest I got-

Yup. Me on the stairs. But some way or another, I managed to write over my daily word count!

Guys, I'm just saying that it would be a lot easier for me to feel up to writing if it was cold. SERIOUSLY. IT'S GONNA BE IN THE NINETIES TOMORROW.

Day Four!

2,549

I'm pretty sure I made it to my inciting incident in my story on Friday, so words just FLEW OUT OF ME! It was awesome and is definitely the best feeling as a writer. I watched Pirates of the Caribbean "At World's End" (SO SAD BUT VERY INSPIRING) as well!XD Even though I did write a lot, something else happened. I finished Keeper.

You have no idea how scared I was. GUYYYSSS!!! THE CLIFF HANGER!!!O.O

Day Five!6,212

This was the most epic writing day!!! I am pretty positive it's the most I've ever written in one day! I was so close to writing 5k when I was winding down my writing time, so I decided to keep on writing for a while, and then BAM! It was bed time, and I was like 100 words away from 6k. So, I furiously finished the 6k on my phone as I got ready for bed. AND I MADE IT! It was so awesome to do the math and find out that I had written so many words!

Day Six!

14

HAHAHAHAHA. I only wrote two sentence yesterday.

*clears throat*

I got home from a long rehearsal at 4:00 pm though, so I guess I had an okay excuse, yet I still didn't write. I was just so drained from writing so many words the day before! I'm still recovering.XD And things are getting a bit complicated with my character's emotions, meaning I am having a harder time figuring out what they are going to do next. Haaa...I need to figure it out.XD

I'm not gonna lie, I spent the vast majority of the rest of my day doing this.

I have, like, no self-control.

I could also use the excuse that I AM SICK AND HAVE A COLD. Which usually I wouldn't be that upset about, but I JUST HAD ONE LITERALLY THREE WEEKS AGO!!!

*cries*

I need to get better...:(

BUT ANYHOO...I don't have a word count for today, because I haven't started writing, but I hope to get lots of words in and get over my rough patch of story.;)

All in all, I have reached the grand total of  15,034 words! I am at the 30% goal!!! YAYYY!!XD

So, my fellow NaNoers, how is NaNo going for you? What's your grand total of a word count?:)
