Day #13:
Today was crazy, I really had to pull it together to make it happen for me and waited till 12:30 to get started. It wasn’t the story or anything I think it was just my old habits dying, now I am slowly attuning my biorhythms to included a good two hour session of writing everyday (except Sunday think I might keep that down to one hour) This is one of the biggest reasons for me doing Nanowrimo not so much the book writing though that is a great motivator but the self discipline and daily grind is also something that I think will pay huge dividends for me in the future and not just with the writing part of my life either. I actually love it when I finish everyday it is a nice rush but the force of procrastination very strong with Young Muses, it is still. Okay Yoda jokes are usually the cue to leave, but I still have a lot to go don’t want to jinx it or get over confident so Nanowrimo Gods don’t forsake me I still need you!

p.s. Miles Davis “Birth of The Cool” (that’s right, no link – I’m beat) accompanied me for the two hours along with Little Dragon’s self titled debut I believe. Think I’ll use them a couple more times next week then try out some others. Both were surprisingly DOPE to type to. Word count today was about 2300 in two hours and the total right now is a hair under 30k and I am about 60% there
Day 14:
Today rather sucked. My story is falling apart a bit and i am just writing down possible scenarios at this point. I am not coming to grips with the fact that editiing and rewriting may be twice as hard as writing the ideas down in the first place. Which is cool. Maybe. I took a really long time trying to tie some old ideas in and it is possible I may be writing longer than the 30 day deadline, but shouldn’t be a problem dropping the 50k word count. Week two is one of the hardest and I am at a healthy 32k.
