Only twenty more days to go!

I got a lot done today. I busted out my laptop and it felt pretty darn good as compared to writing on my desktop. I’m hoping to have 30k done by day fourteen (Tuesday), so we’ll see how it goes!

I do have to go to Toronto on Monday and Tuesday for work, so I’m unsure how much in word count I’ll get in order to boost me to 30k. But I still have two more days to really boost that number. Let’s attempt 30k for Sunday.

Today’s picture of inspiration is not based off of the mood of the scene I wrote. It was more for the scenery itself within the scene.

Keep on Space Truckin’!

“Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer! He’s a demon on wheels!”

Yeah, I don’t know.

I went to work, came home for an hour to pack up and almost fell asleep. Then I gigged a gig. Then I came home and wrote. I’m ready for bed!

But the good news is that I have all of my mini-plot points written out, so writing comes REALLY easy. The only reason why I stopped when I did is because I can’t keep my gosh-darn eyes open anymore.

Today’s picture of inspiration is actually the menu from the campus bar at my old university. (Don’t ask).

Keep on Space Truckin’!

Day eight is here! I didn’t get really far though.

Reason being is that my computer desk is NOT made for sitting and typing for hours on end. The end result is really sore wrists. They’re pretty darn red now. Because of working on the website at work, I spend all day on the computer there, then I come home and write for a few more hours. It’s not helpin’ ze hands!

I need to get my laptop from work tomorrow and start writing on there. Tomorrow I think will be another poor-writing night, depending on how late my bands’ gig is. Hopefully I’ll crack 1000 words.

This is the first time since I started NaNoWriMo where I’ve written UNDER 1000 words. I’m not too concerned though. My wrists need a break!

Yes, I’ve broken the 20k mark within a week. Let’s keep this momentum going, shall we?

I listened to Green Carnation’s – The Acoustic Verses consistently while writing the past few days. Today was no exception.

As for the picture inspiration, I wrote a lot of quick-witted scenes. Fortunately, I had these folks covering my back.
