Finally the realization hits

Yeah I guess I’m just dumb, so what. It took me what more than a week, but I finally realized that I am just a quitter. A big fat lazy quitter. I haven’t written a word since the saturday before last, not on anything but my blog. Why you may ask? I have quit. I [...]

NaNoWriMo is over and other things that depress me.

Yes the deadline has passed and I sit firmly on my pile of 28,000 words. Looking about I see that I could have reached the summit, if I had no life and just had to work and write. Hell given those sets of boundaries I could have written 100,000 words. But that ain’t my life [...]

The end is nigh!

Well my end is anyway. I tried to reach the 50,000 word goal and fell a little short. I have had some problems in my personal life, problems that I am the direct cause of. They have caused me to not write, as well as other stress in my home life. I still believe that [...]

Day 21 and I’m Halfway there

I know I only have 10 days left and I just hit the 25000 word mark. I’m trying. I have written more in the last 20 days than I have in the last 20 months. I have to say that I’m proud of my accomplishment though I was hopeful that I would get there. 50000 [...]

Day 16, man is this getting hard

It’s not the writing that is hard, it is writing with everything going on around you. I’ve had to deal in the past few days with my daughter getting diagnosed with Acid Reflux. She now refuses to sleep because when she lays down she ends up gagging and vomiting. This needless to say has limited [...]

Day 13 update

I wrote my butt off today. Did some at work, while my son was at karate and for about two hours tonight. I nearly did 4000 words. I’m happy with where I am, even though I am still 3600 words behind pace. But at least now I know if I give it a little effort [...]

Ok day 13 and man where did the days go

Day 13: I’m not exactly sure what happened to the past few days. I’ve been able to write on some and do a lot of words. I wrote almost 3000 words one day. I have fallen quite a bit behind but I do have tomorrow off with our little girl. I’m hoping to get some [...]

Day eight, oh woe is me.

I know you have all been wondering why my word count has stalled. I am wondering as well, actually no I know the reason. The past two days have been absolute hell at work. We fell about 2 days behind in our work over the weekend. I am not exactly sure how it happened, I [...]

Ok it is day six

I’m way behind. I was planning on writing on during the tailgate for the big Colts – Pats game (don’t get me started about the game I won’t get any writing done). I Wanted to head out around 3 pm to start tailgating, and my brother in law didn’t show up at my house until [...]

Day four and right on track

Day Four is here and I’m am right on track. The story is starting to just flow from me and it has actually gotten easier. I’m getting a better feel for the characters and the world is starting to flush itself out nicely. I was surprised at how much I got done today given the [...]
