Mis Escritos Y Pensamientos

I was sick again today.  No writing...it must all be caught up tomorrow.  Boo...

Ok, as a quick follow up to my last post, I kept writing and passed today's goal by ten words.

Total word count: 11,677

Today is day seven.  I've been writing for a week.  It doesn't seem like a long time to be writing, but technically, I should be almost 25% of the way done by now.  Haha....

I'm actually writing this before I'm done writing for the day.  Remember that yesterday my word goal was 10,000 words.  That means that today my word count should be at least 11,667 words to remain on target.  My current word count is....


10,401 words

I've still a ways to go, if I'm going to reach the goal by tonight.  I really don't see that happening, but hey, at least I won't be three days behind!

Ok, I'm really not sick.  I wasn't feeling well yesterday, and I stayed in bed for awhile today, but even though I'm up and feeling pretty fine right now, I declare today a sick day.  Yes, I didn't write at all.  Boo... Well, tomorrow I'm spending the day in the library with my husband.  He'll study, I'll write.  Maybe I'll catch up.

I shared last years playlist from NANO.  The one for this year's novel is still "in progress," but a theme song has indeed been chosen.  It's called Beloved, and it's done by Tenth Avenue North.  Here are the lyrics.

Love of my life
Look deep in my eyes
There you will find what you need
Give me your life
Lust and the lies
The past you're afraid I might see
You've been running away from me

You're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
It binds you to me
It's a mystery

Love of my life
Look deep in my eyes
There you will find what you need
I'm the giver of life
I'll clothe you in whine
My immaculate bride you will be
Oh come running home to me

You're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
It binds you to me

Well you've been a mistress, my wife
Chasing lovers it won't satisfy
Won't you let me make you my bride
You will drink of my lips
And you'll taste new life

Cause you're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
And it binds you to me

You're my beloved
Forever we'll be
Our love it unites us
And it binds you to me
It's a mystery
It's a mystery

Today's word goal: 6,667

I'm officially behind schedule.  At least I kept up for three days.

A NANO saying...

Whenever you delete a sentence in your NaNoWriMo novel, a NaNoWriMo angel loses its wings and plummets, screaming, to the ground.


One of the hard things to remember during NANO is to not delete that paragraph that you hate.  After you've reached and surpassed your goal, you can edit later.  That mindset is so hard to get into.  I write and edit as I do so, but there's no time!!!  Words must be compiled!

Today's goal was 5,000 words.  I reached 5,242, way to stay just above par!

Sentence of the day:

Sarah preferred to live in the land of reality.
