Mis Escritos Y Pensamientos

When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen. -Samuel Lover

Day Ten

Posted by Christa Joy |

Well folks, today I reached yesterday's goal.  I'm still a day behind.  I'm not worried, though.  I have plenty of time to catch up.  Hopefully I'll not be too far behind my Thanksgiving, because writing during all of that family and food time is a little difficult at times. 

Today's Word Goal: 16,667

Today's Word Count: 15, 153

Maybe one day I'll catch up and actually give you a run down of what's been going on in the writing.  :)

Day Nine

Posted by Christa Joy |

Goodness Glaciers!  Today I wrote, I promise I did, but I didn't catch up to my goal.  Today's goal was 15,000 words.  The fun part is this...
Yesterday's goal was 13,333 words.

My word count for today was: 13,333!

I got the exact amount!  What are the odds?  That's a first.

As a side note, who can tell me what movie "Goodness Glaciers" is off of?

Week One Done

Posted by Christa Joy |

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!

Sick Day

Posted by Christa Joy |

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.

Today's Word Count Goal: 10,000

Today's Actual Word Count: Whatever it was yesterday

Theme Song

Posted by Christa Joy |

Today's word goal: 8,333

Actual word count: 8,400

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
