NaNoWriMo Diary 2017 : Week Two
Nov 8 – 21,175, Today’s total worlds: 2,913
– Notes: Had a lot of real work today, stayed up later than I should have to get in my word count. I have set my daily goals to 3000 but didn’t make it today. I feel good about what I wrote, have a great combat scene that makes me feel warm and fluffy inside.
– Mood: Mentally and physically exhausted.
– Inspiration Music for today: I listened to Kilo 94.3 today. Nothing like some bad ass Rock to get your brain flowing when you would rather sleep!
Nov 9 – 22,573, Today’s total words: 1,398
– Notes: Feel like absolute crap today.
– Mood: Feeling MEH.
– Inspiration Music for today: I listened to Kilo 94.3 again on my radio. I needed the ‘pick me up’ that only Sid Black could give me.
Nov 10 – 25,622, Today’s total words: 3,049
– Notes: Had the worst headache of my life today. I am surprised I managed to knock out as many words as I did, and that they made sense.
– Mood: Feeling like death warmed over
– Inspiration Music for today: None, the silence was needed!
Nov 11 – 28,256, Today’s total words: 2,634
– Notes: Veteran’s day weekend. I took my notebook with me and wrote a lot. Typed it all into my Scrivener file when I got home.
– Mood: Head still hurts, but it is what it is.
– Inspiration Music for today: None
Nov 12 – 30,004, Today’s total words: 1,748
– Notes: Veteran’s day weekend. Wrote between preparing food and guests showing up for supper.
– Mood: Other than a headache that wants to help me write, I am feeling pretty great.
– Inspiration Music for today: 80’s hair metal, don’t ask, I ain’t tellin…
Nov 13 – 33,200, Today’s total words: 3,196
– Notes: Wrote a few scenes that I hadn’t planned in my outline. The new additions were totally pantsed, but they really increase some of the tension!
– Mood: Feeling ok, a little wired due to the fact I drank a whole pot of coffee today.
– Inspiration Music for today: Kilo94.3
Nov 14 – 35,276, Today’s total words: 2,076
– Notes: The end of week 2! I am 11,943 words above par. Because Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, I am going to need the word count boost so I am sure I can make the dent 50K words into this rough draft before the 30th.
– Mood: Sore
– Inspiration Music for today: Kilo94.3
