NaNo Update and Other Stuff

   Long time, no see, my internet buddies!
   So, how's it going? How's life? Quite honestly, I'm feeling very sleep deprived right now, but I'll get to that in a moment.
   First up, I have a NaNo update. Nothing I have done before could prepare me for the stress, worry, and intensity of NaNo...but I'm loving it! (That was for you, McDonalds.) It's been almost two weeks since NaNo started, and my goal is to have 25,000 words by then.
   "Oh, but Lydia, you haven't told us how many words you have already!"
   Right! So, so far I have...(drumroll please...)

   18,485 words!
   
   According to the NaNoWriMo website, at this rate I should finish on exactly November 30. Yay! How are the rest of you doing in NaNo?

   One downside to NaNo, though, is the time commitment. I knew I would struggle with time the moment I signed up, but I didn't anticipate how hard it would really be. School is crazy right now, and my homework keeps me up until about ten o'clock every night. Then I have to wake up at 5:30 every morning to write, which wouldn't be so bad if I came home more. But between soccer, band, and church, I'm rarely home for more than a few hours. I'm feeling very sleep-deprived right now. 

  Well, back to my little hidey-hole while I think of my battle plan for the next few days!

Smiles, 
Lydia

  1. Lydia,it is your turn on Fice. I'm sorry I did not tell you before. I thought I already had. Since we don't have many people, I thought we could loop around. You do not have to be part of the loop around if you do not want to.
