Surprising Myself (Day 22)

Well, today was nowhere near ideal. We (me, mom, dad and bro) went to my grandparents to see my uncle and cousins and had diner, for a pre-thanksgiving thing I suppose. But it wasn't all a waste of NaNo time, I managed to write a whole 2,000 words while over there! This surprised me because I tried to do this last year while at my aunts on Thanksgiving and wrote 0. We left around 7 and I got home around 8-ish and I wrote the rest of the 3k, hitting 5k just before 12am (well, I was about 50 words short but hey, can't stop time ^^;). So today = success!

And, unfortunately, I can't try for 10k tomorrow because I've got to leave home :( My gosh I've been trying to get around to doing a 10k day for a while now and when I finally, actually think I can really do it, things start to happen D:< So not right!

If I can do about three 10k days then I'll be caught up to where I should be! Right now I'm only at 80k but I should be at like 115k, and I feel so guilty D:

But on a lighter note, I've finally gotten to introduce a new character, an interesting, eery, somewhat insane character, and I absolutely love him so far! Remember that drawing I posted awhile ago of that dragon? Well, that's who I'm talking about, and my other characters? Let's just say they're a bit scared of him ;)

I hope everyone is on track with their novels and are enjoying writing those interesting bits!

Finally he's alive! :) I hope you can get some free time to do your 10k. I purposely (ahem) lost another week just to give the 10k/5 hours a chance again. My last one I lost for like 500 words when hitting 5 hours. I shouldn't spend so much time talking with my dad... Anyway, I hope you finish in time. I'm feeling nostalgic already, November is almost over. :(

rarte- Yeah, he is alive. I think my other characters don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing though ;)
Purposely lost a week? Don't do that to yourself! It's only like 1,700 a day, you can do it :D
I know, isn't it weird? You wait in excitement for November to begin, than curse it after week one exhilaration wears off, and then start to feel a little sad once it's coming to the end :'(

But let's go out in style! :D
