Film scores, people. Film scores.

I never used to listen to anything when I wrote- prefered silence (though it is often hard to come by), but just last night I started listening to music. And this morning I tried to, but with the point I was at with my story, the words were just distracting me.  So, I pressed Film Scores on my Pandora.
Walla!  1.3k words later!  I'm very happy :D
Lots of love you guys!  Hope everything's going well!

Passed 13k!

I'm not sure you guys understand how pumped I am about this!  I've passed 13k in my word count, and today alone I've written over 5k words :D  Which is amazing for me considering I've written just as many days as I haven't.
I hope everyone else is doing great, and if not, hang in there!  I have faith in you!
Lots of love you guys!

Word Sprints!

So, I'd never done word sprints before.  I created a Twitter at the beginning of October, specifically for NaNoWriMo, but I never got on it.  Last night though, I decided to give it a go.  With three different word sprints, I got over 3,000 words in less than an hour.  I was so happy for myself, and I have officially decided that Word Sprints are the bomb.
If you are having some trouble with your word count, I highly suggest giving the Twitter or forum word sprints a try.  Even if you don't think you'll like them- it's not going to hurt to try (:
Wishing you all the best of luck!

10k

I reached 10k!  Yes, it's day 12, and yes my word count should be almost double what it is, but I reached 10k and I am pumped!

WRITING BUDDIES

Yikes!  It's been to long my friends.
Well, I'm currently majorly behind.  But today is #doubleupday!   I'm going to use it as an extra little boost and work to double my current word count (:
Enough about me though!  Let's move to another topic :  WRITING BUDDIES

How many people did I talk to over NaNoMail before NaNoWriMo began? 6.  Six people that I discussed and visited with about NaNo, NaNoprep, different ideas- and guess how many I've talk to since NaNoWriMo began?  1.  One person stuck around!  She is pretty bomb though :)  I've decided that we shall be the best of friends (I feel like I'm quoting something?  But I actually have no clue.)  Seriously though, having a writing buddy who is actually there, who will have a visit when you're feeling down, or your word count needs some MAJOR help.
Writing buddies are encouraging.  And if you have yet to find one, or haven't even tried to get one yet, I suggest you do.  There are forums in your genre, in your age group, and in the main NaNoWriMo reaching 50,000 thread.  I suggest you give them a look.  And hey, there's nothing wrong with randomly shooting a message to some random person that you think has a cool bio.  Just go for it (:

Wishing you all the best of luck!

Small update

Finally got 10 minutes to sit and write for a moment!  260 words in less than 10 minutes- I've finally begun, and I love it.

Day 2!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, we're off!
It is officially day two of NaNoWriMo, and I officially have 0 words written!  Boo :(
I hope ya'll are going stronger than me.
Yesterday was a mess of waking up early, going to church, a family birthday, and a shindig over at my friends house (which resulted in me not getting home till well past eleven).  I'm hoping to get over 3,000 words today, as besides school, I have no other prior arrangements  (:

I hope everything is going well with you guys!
