NaNoWriMo: Day 14

Progress as of this writing:  18,846/50000

 

I’ve fallen a bit behind.  After an EPIC WORD SPRINT at about one this morning, I’ve had to stop for sleep, food, and cleaning my glasses.  I think I’ve come down with a minor case of eye-strain.  Beiges blend together into whites and I can’t differentiate between the two.  In a demonstration of how bad it really is, I’m having less of a headache when I turn around and take my glasses OFF.

 

…but the contrast without them is godsawful, so back on they go…

 

I’m going to make more sprints.  Every half hour I aim for 500 words, take a fifteen-minute caffeine/protein breather, and then go for it again.

 

Which leans into:

A PLAN!?!  I GOT A PLAN?!  FOR SRS?!?

 

STEP THE FIRST:  OPEN SCRIVENER.
Watch the counter taunt me, watch the blinking cursor.

 

STEP THE SECOND:  OPEN ITUNES.
Since I can’t write in dead silence.

 

STEP THE THIRD:  BANG HEAD ON KEYBOARD UNTIL PLOT EMERGES FULLY GROWN FROM MY CRANIUM AS ATHENA SPROUTED FROM THE HEAD OF ZEUS.

 

Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s four minutes to the half hour:  TIME TO SPRINT.

 

If I can make the half-way point by tomorrow evening, I’ll celebrate somehow.

 

…or it’ll have to wait until Thursday hits, ‘cuz I’m broke right now… XD
