NaNoWriMo Update: Ugh

NaNo update: Day 12 Target Word Count: 20,004 Actual word Count: 5486 Ugh. I actually have some good scenes to write, too, that could seriously pad my count. But the time, man, the time! There isn't enough of it. Plus, you know, I have to update Twitter and the blog about how it's going. Ugh. Time for tea. Oh shoot, I also have to feed the children. Ugh.

NaNoWriMo Update: Day 11

NaNo Update -- Day 11 Target Word Count Goal: 18,337 Current Word Count: 4692 Status of Writer: All hands on deck Status of Novel: dandy, despite lack of words Though I've made time almost every day to check in with my novel at least once, those have been, by force, short check ins, and I've been adding probably 500 words a day. Not nothing, but putting me behind schedule as we saunter into the second weekend of NaNoWriMo. I am shamelessly letting both of my children and my husband veg out on three separate screens in the other room and taking advantage of their distraction by hiding in the bedroom with my laptop to try to add some more limbs to this beast. Can I catch up to word count by weekend's end? Can I crack 10K at least? Can I also engage in training for my upcoming 5k and be a semi-attentive mother and wife? Place your bets...
