Time to watch the avs game.

Day 18: Meh

Word count: 26773

Thank you write or die! I read that the word 'meh' was being admitted to some dictionary this week. Pretty big deal for a word made up on the simpsons. Sums up right now pretty good though, meh. Can't write.

It's much easier when my charecter was off by himself in the jungle, now there's all these people around and it's just too complicated. Something needs to happen...

Day 17: Halfway point!

Word count: 25,478

Today was my first 5k word day!! I'm feeling more optimistic now about reaching 30k by Wednesday night. My story has gotten incredibly boring, and something exciting needs to happen, quick. I'm thinking someone gets thrown overboard, or maybe another explosion. We'll see.

I'm off to shout out in the forums, halfway and first 5k!

Day 17: I should be halfway...

The nanowrimo challenge is 30k by Wednesday night.

My word count: 20422

I have 9578 words to go. In three days. No prob bob.

Then again, I think it's time for some Write or Die!

Day 11: Oh ya!

Word Count: 18,674

Right on schedule baby :) Time to watch some hockey!

Day 10: Cover Artwork

I almost forgot. I made a cover for my novel. What do you think? I'll post a larger one tomorrow.. The picture of the orangutan is one I bought off of istockphoto.com, cool huh.

His face is just amazing. The image actually is pretty wide, so I figure it can wrap around and the whole back jacket of the novel will just be his red hair. Cool.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a novel to write.

UPDATE: I'm right on track, with 27 minutes in the day left to spare. Things are getting crazy for my main charecter, and because he has some serious hazards to dodge, I'm going to need all the alertness I can muster..which means I've reached an excellent stopping point for the night.
