Intermittent NaNo Progress Report #3

[naomi_jay]

Total wordcount: 18202. I fell way behind this weekend thanks to a combination of birthdays and going back on antidepressants. My plan is to be ahead of schedule again by Friday, especially given that I won't be able to write over the weekend ... again.

Reeking of awesomeness: Pretty much everything Ethan says or does.

Reeking of sucktitude: There's absolutely no chemistry between Yasmin and the supposed love interest.

Private dicking: Ethan to Yasmin: "I'm gonna do some sleuthing, you know? Some private dicking."

Tonight I am mostly listening to: Less Than Jake - Anthem.

Cripply hand status: Not too bad. It's had a five-day break, which it badly needed.

Very glad to see you pushing ahead on NaNo again. Hope to see that blue column on the stats page rise quickly and soon!

Thank you! The plan is to write until my hands fall off.

I actually lost wordcount last night due to going off half-cocked and having to do a structural edit *grumble*. Plus I'm a half-asleep zombie, *and* my duff finger is aching (I feel your pain), *and* today I'm meant to be making jam for ultra-cheap Xmas presents...

Still at least I'm kicking my sleep cycle back into some kind of order. Managed to be awake at 10.30 today, and actually mobile by 11.30 or so. Tomorrow, the world!

What kind of jam?

I've worked out that if I do two hours a night every night up til Friday, I'll be back on track. Saturday is out because I'm at my parents, who have no computer. Sunday is out because Mum is taking me to a spa for the day. It doesn't seem fair to tell her I'd rather be at home writing...

Plum and ginger, made with muscovado sugar :) I'm going to put most of it in ickle jars to give to folks, so I can keep plenty for myself - I have a weird intolerance that means I can only eat a wee few kinds of jam, but the fancy kinds are expensive (though the blueberry and lavender one was yum) and I get very bored with "just" plum.

(As for the spa - I spent years as a teenager training my mother to expect me to be utterly contrary and fail to enjoy anything I hadn't suggested myself, for extremely logical and justifiable reasons she couldn't argue with. So now she doesn't expect me to appreciate things like that. Which is for the best, since I doubt it would ever occur to her to offer me something pleasant and relaxing like a spa trip...)
