Randomness to get me through Nanowrimo:
1. “Don’t worry”,
ranks up there right next to “calm down”.
Some people… Oh and no worries,
I am not worried or need to calm down, just something heard on my commute to
work today. I felt like sharing an eye
roll with the woman being given such great advice, but I try not to make eye
contact with strangers.
2. I want to read
all the time. Even this month where
most of my spare time (ha, spare time, as if) goes to writing for nano, I want
to read. I make deals with myself that
if I only get my word count in for the day in the morning, I could have some
time to read at night. Or, the one that
kinda messes me up and gets me in trouble:
If I read for an hour now, I have to spend at least an hour writing
later. Oh that one is too funny, as I
will crack open the book and any time I had is spent lost in the fiction of
that story. I’ve just wasted the day
for writing. It’s a problem.
3. Reviews. I need reviews for my books. I assume other authors do as well, yet, I’m
really lazy and will only do the star part of the review. I hardly ever write an actual review. I’m a hypocrite. I admit it.
4. I am currently on
word count at 4200 words. Granted that
is only for the first two days of nano, but I have set aside one hour tonight
at 9:30 p.m. to get my 2000 words in today and hopefully all week long. We will see how well I do. I get cranky and tired by the time Thursday
and Friday hit. Maybe I should start
drinking soda again, just for nano. It’s
a thought…
Calm down, Courtney. :P (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Sometimes I say "No worries" instead of "You're welcome/Not a problem," which is an Australian-ism, but nothing quite makes stress levels rise like "Calm down" or "Don't worry." Makes me want to headbutt someone.
ReplyDeleteReviews are really hard to write! I either really enjoy it, or I don't. ;) (The End.)
Well CarrieBoo stole what I was going to say so I won't even attempt to say "Calm down" or "Don't Worry." ha
ReplyDeleteI don't really enjoy doing reviews unless I just loved the book. When I don't, I find it extremely hard. And don't worry, you'll get a review from me as soon as I finish reading Shadow Fire. I don't read fast or all the time like you! I'm too busy watching the boob tube.
