If I'm going to make up my word count, I have to write approximately 10k per day for the next five days. Yike. But I'm trying! I have.... 1063 so far today. *keeps going*

There's so no way I'm going to make it. This makes me so sad.

11194 / 50000 words. 22% done!

This meter makes me want to cry.

ETA: 2330 so far. I'm chugging right along. My goal for work today is 5000. That's not so lofty, I think. I'm almost halfway there!

P.S. It's weird writing smut at work. >.>

12461 / 50000 words. 25% done!

ETA still later: Ok, I didn't make my goal for today at work. Which means.... a late night while I make it up when I get home. ¬.¬ Whoops?

13183 / 50000 words. 26% done!

I. Ok, I know everyone got upset that Jake Gyllenhall would be playing the guy from Prince of Persia (whose name I don't actually know) being that he's white... But GUYS. I'm totally reserving judgment until the movie comes out. Because holy crap. That trailer looks amazing.

II. I am behiiiiiiind on my word count. Not because I'm running out of steam in writing (which is what would usually happen) but because life gets in the way. While it's a good thing that I'm really in the swing of things writing wise, I want to actually do this thing! Life, why are you so hard.

8122 / 50000 words. 16% done!

III. I wanna read my book. But I want to write too. Why are those two things mostly impossible to do at the same time?

Guys, I've gone crazy. Round the bend. Off the deep end. Past the point of no return.

I'm going to really try NaNoWriMo this year.

Now either, my new-found school work ethic will allow me to succeed this year, or the work of school will drown me and I will completely forget that I ever had dreams of writing novels.

So hoping for the former.

Oh, P.S. For the next month and a half my boyfriend and I are the same age. Happy birthday, baby. ♥

ETA: P.P.S. Also. There's this contest over here at fangs_fur_fey which could win you a Kindle. The chances might be small, but it's a Kindle. So it's totally worth trying.
