NaNo Update

Day One: I wrote for about two hours this morning, and about two hours just now.  I'm at 5121 5343 words.  I suspect I'll write more later tonight, but we shall see what the evening brings.  I'm over my goal for today (5000), so we'll see.  Now I'm off to see a movie!  Whee!

Kevin Smith has a new one out, you know...and it's not like we can miss that in this house!

Word update: So, while hubby is busy with the Texas-Texas Tech game, I'm up to 6348 6979 7193 7276 8901 words!  Woo-hoo!  (Posting here is keeping me motivated to continue writing, so bear with me, friends! I think that 7276 just might do me in for the night, though...I'm suddenly quite sleepy!  So, a second wind, a second cup of tea, and a great ending to that Longhorn-Red Raider game gave me another boost!  8901 it is for the day!)

Movie update: Zack and Miri-well, if you're a Kevin Smith fanatic (or you live with one of your own creation, like I do) and you can handle his sense of humor, then this movie is an enjoyable way to wile away a few hours.  If not, then you probably won't care for it.  Be warned, though, that this one is a lot more in your face Kevin that some others (meaning that great NC-17 debate was an actual debate) All in all, I do believe my Smith-O-Meter would put this one in the last spot for now (only because the story was a little weak and predictable and it hasn't had time to properly stew in my brain yet), but that is always subject to change, like my word count!  *grin*

Clerks ->  Chasing Amy -> Clerks II ->Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back -> Jersey Girl -> Mallrats -> Zack and Miri.


So, that was hard...and I'm just not so sure now about Zack and his pals.  Hm...and Jersey Girl is a very sweet film.  And Mallrats does have its moments.  Hm...but I'll stay with this order for now.  It's not hard and fast, like the Holy Trilogy and its pals (Empire -> Jedi -> A New Hope -> Sith -> Clones -> Menace), but it'll do.

So, I was thinking, I can't head for a brand new novel thing, because I am not that prolific and whatnot, but then I thought about That Monster Fic of mine...the first I wrote, that I have yet to finish. The bulk of the actual *content* was written over a couple weekends, and it's almost 20,000 words...just been going on for like 3 years or so. I may just have to use this as my reason to Finally Get It Done. ;)

You have a very nifty counter thingie ;) Still proud of you *BG*

It's from http://www.zokutou.co.uk/wordmeter/

lfvoy pointed me that way. Super easy to do.

And as far as that first part, any excuse will do, mate.

I haven't written anything today, but I probably will in a bit. Little Ashley is trying to tell me she's telepathic now, but I'm trying to tell her that this isn't a sci-fi story. She's not listening. Damn character hijackings!
