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 11 and 12

Posted by Christa Joy |

I do not know where my head is.  Well, I do right now, but I don't know where it was when I didn't post on Day 11.  Please don't think that I've neglected you.  All of my days are running together right now, especially since Friday here and still Thursday where many of you live.  Yikes.  Today (We'll call it Thursday, even though the NANO site reminds me that it's actually Friday) I was trying to reach the word count for Wednesday.  (Do you see why all of this is so confusing now?)  Remember, I'm a day behind.  Here are the numbers, and that's all for today, because I'm still writing.

Day 10 Word Count Goal: 16,667

Day 11 Word Count Goal: 18,333

Day 12 Word Count Goal: 20,000

My Word Count Goal at this moment (whatever day it is): 18,428

Like I said, I'm still writing.  If I could write 1,500 more words before I went to bed, I could get up in the morning and be on schedule!!!  Aahhh...  However, it's almost One here and that probably won't happen. 

An extra tidbit for you:

Little Women is one of my favorite books of all time.  I adore Alcott, and almost all of her writings (she actually wrote a few morbid murder type stories that I don't like) 

Little Women (with Christian Bale, Kirsten Dunst and Winona Ryder) is one of my all time favorite movies.

The Little Women Soundtrack (do you see a pattern here?) from the movie, not the musical, is great!  It is also perfect for writing to.  I'm so glad I bought it last summer.  If you haven't heard it, check some of it out here.

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?

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

Total word count: 11,677

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
