Yes, I'm one of those people. The people who are crazy enough to attempt to write a 50,000-word novel in a month, on top of senior thesis and college applications (*shudder*) and a trip to Orlando for NCTE/ALAN (*squee!!*).
Oh! I should talk about NCTE/ALAN! Because I have the best dad ever and he happens to be an English teacher, I get to go with him to the NCTE convention and ALAN in Orlando this year. I am unbelievably excited about this trip, and I promise to tell you all about it when I get back. With pictures, probably.
But anyway, NaNoWriMo. It's November 5th. Here's NaNo as of today, in numbers:
-Goal word count for today: 8,335
-My current word count: 8,209
-Dances I have performed in instead of writing today: 1 (and it was so much fun! If any of my fellow dancers are reading this, y'all rock <3)
-College applications that I should be working on instead of writing: 2
-Number of essays required by those applications: 9 (I know, 9 essays for 2 applications. Whaaat?)
-Pages I have read of Beautiful Darkness: 96 (and I love it!)
-How long I have left to meet today's word count and still get some essay-writing done: 3.5 hours
Off to write some more now! Whether it will be college application essays or NaNo remains to be determined.
Grats on the word count goal! You're doing much better than I am. Writing papers is taking up a majority of my NaNo time.
