BOYS! grabyour Guns. it'sallin GOODFUN!

Novel finished. Hell yes.
And, though I said I wouldn't yet, I started editing a little. But, only spelling so that I could actually read it to edit it in a few days.
I want to finish editing it fast so that I can buy a copy from LuLu.

According to MSWord, my final wordcount is 51,333 words.
According to the NaNoWriMo validator it's 51,327. Oh well.
But, it's pretty and shiny and I love it.
I wrote 1,287 words today. And, all of that equals Chapter Fourteen, the last chapter.

Soundtrack equals a final dose of Jackson Browne, specifically his 'Running On Empty' album.
Learn it. Live it. Love it.

Tomorrow marks the last day of my first NaNoWriMo.
I will be back, damnit, I will.

i'm BECOMING the BULL. AND A NANOWRIMO WINNER!

SPOILER ALERT:: The winner's certificate matches the color's of my blog.
You know how I know this? Because I have seen it. Because I have won NaNoWriMo.
Because tomorrow I will actually finish my novel.

Today however, I've got 50,040 words to my name.
Which means that today is my miracle day. I think it's my most productive day.
I wrote 3,898 words. Yeah. Really. Of which 3,173 words are part of an Interlude. Then, 713 words are part of and all of Chapter Thirteen. Then, 12 words are part of Chapter Fourteen.

If you're going '1667' a day... fuck you. A) I don't fucking care. B) You haven't finished your novel yet, OR hit 50k, have you?

Soundtrack rich today. Songs off of a mixtape. I love it because it sounds like shit.
'We Are Pilots v.3' - Shiny Toy Guns ;; 'Lead Sail Paper Anchor' - Atreyu ..

Wow. I am the coolest person on Earth right now.

under the RADAR.

Okay, this is much better.
My new total is a stunning and gorgeous 46,142 words.
I wrote 1,519 words today, which is all Chapter Twelve, which is done.
Interlude again tomorrow. And, only 3,858 words remaining before I get the suposedly beautiful winner's certificate. I want to finish tomorrow. But, that's just a want.
Only three fucking days left. Now I'm getting nervous.
And, if you subscribe to the '1667' way of life, there's 1,143 words between us.

Yes, soundtrack. 'Cinematographic' album by The Junior Varsity ;; and a few songs by Silversun Pickups ..

Rally Week, I apologize. I think we can get along just fine.

Monday, November 26, 2007

ohwellwhatever NEVERMIND. hellohellohellohello.

With a shocking how-did-it-go-so-fast total of four, count 'em FOUR days remaining in NaNoWriMo.
I have written 44,623 words of the needed 50,000.
Today I wrote a total of 1,596 words.
And, I rounded out and finished Chapter Eleven at a very low total of 2,405 words.
Rally Week will equal hardships and a lot of them. It's all battlescenes and philosophy from here on out.
But, I'll only have to stretch it out for the remaining 5,377 words, which (and watch me jinx myself) want to knock out in the next two days.

Yes, I did have a soundtrack today. Although small, it was very awesome and inspiring.
Just a few songs from Silversun Pickups, and just a few songs from Nirvana.

Wow. Rally Week, I don't think we'll be best friends.
But, I'm definitely not best friends with you '1667'-ers, because I'm kicking your asses by 1,281 words.

Sunday, November 25, 2007

it'snot YOURFault soPlease STOPYOURCRYING now.

New total is 43,027 words. Ahead ahead ahead.
Today I wrote 1,981 words. Cool.
Okay, Chapter Ten is done at a stunning 9,610 words. Which means I wrote 1,172 words of Chapter Ten today.
Chapter Eleven is off to a start of 809 words.
My plot is all downhill from here, and drawing it out to 50k is where the challenging part of this whole thing begins.

According to my NaNo wordcount bar, I have 6,973 words to go.
I fucking rock. Admit it.
I'm ahead of you '1667'-ers by 1,352 words. Which, in case you didn't know, is ALOT.

My soundtrack = Reality TV once again.
I will rock out tomorrow and the rest of the week, though.

i'mnotin theMOOD.

New total is a stunning 41,046 words.
So, today I wrote 1,966 words. Awesome.
I have 8,954 words to go before I'm done. That's actually going to be a little hard to stretch.
Today brings Chapter Ten to a total of 8,438 words.
So, '1667'-ers beware, I'm ahead by 1,038 words.

Yep, you guessed it, no soundtrack yet again. I've got to wait 'til dad goes back to work to jam.

This 'noveling' thing is the best.

Friday, November 23, 2007

it'snotasif NEWYORKCITY burnedtothe Ground.

Okay, snagged a little. New total is 39,080 words.
That means that I wrote 2,005 words today.
Chapter Ten come to 6,472 words SOFAR. Cool, I like big fun chapters.
Especially since I'll have to write a war soon. Guh.
That leaves me 739 words ahead of the '1667'-ers, though. Which is good.

Soundtrack = a little tiny bit of Rilo Kiley, but not really much music at all.
I need to focus.

whatsitFeelLike tobea GHOST?

Wowzers. The holiday from hell. But, new word count is 37,075.
That means I wrote 380 words today.
But, I'm still ahead of the '1667' crowd by 401 words. Stunning.
Chapter Ten stands at 4,467 words. Really? Cool.

No fucking soundtrack. Stupid fucking holiday.
Stupid ass motherfucking holiday bullshit.

BRIGHTday, BlueSky, SUNSHINE.

Okay, my stunning new total is 36,618 words.
That's a 2,076 word improvement from yesterday.
Well, tomorrow is the dreaded day where I'll have very little time to write, and whatever time that I do have, I'll have to use to work on a school project.
But, today I did manage to get 1,611 words ahead of my '1667' competition, so I'll only have to write a few hundred words tomorrow to keep my head above water.

Today's music completely ignored everything I've downloaded.
Instead, I turned into a vampire and started sucking from purevolume.com, specifically a wonderful guy who goes by 'Backseat Goodbye'. Check him out. Or, like, die.

Yep, I'm good at this.
And, I still love my novel.

Tuesday, November 20, 2007

indieSUX, HARDLINEsux, EmoSux, YOUSUCK!

Wowzers. Spirit healing. This is going good and smooth again.
My new total is a stunning 34,456 words.
My daily total is an equally stunning 1,990 words, which is all Chapter Ten.
Leaving me 1,116 words ahead of all you '1667'-ers.
Yeah, I'm aware that I'm made of win.

Today's music :: 'Their System Doesn't Work For You' - Anti-Flag ;; and half of 'Happiness Ltd.' - Hot Hot Heat ..

I am enjoying this.

Monday, November 19, 2007

babyjust LETmeIN.

5Okay, so Chapter Nine, is actually FINISHED. And, it only took what, 8,665 words.
And, I'll leave my total for today at 32,466 words. Yeah, not even a thousand, but I'm ahead and I've had my spirits broken, damnit.
But, it does bring my daily total to a nice, round 400 words.
Pretty bad, but I AM ahead, and it IS something.

No soundtrack again, even though I do have pretty new music. Again, broken spirits.

I'm still 793 words ahead. Broken spirits.

Sunday, November 18, 2007

thisisthe END, foryouMyFriend.

Okay, my new total is 32,066 words. Crazy, right?
Which means that today I wrote 1,514 words.
And, the reallymassiveNOTOVERYET Chapter Nine is 8,422 words SOFAR.
And, if you're braving '1667' a day, I'm ahead by, oh, 2,060 words, so you have no hope.

No soundtrack again today. Stupid America's Next Top Model. Plus with the self-wordwars, music is actually distracting a little bit. But, I downloaded some for this week, becuase now that I'm ahead, I'll go without the wordwars.

Wow, I'm fabulous.

Saturday, November 17, 2007

coffee SHOP soundtrack.

Okay, I went for 30k tonight. So, my real final count is 30,552 words.
Which means I just wrote 1,216 words in 57 minutes.
Which brings the massive, STILLNOTOVER, Chapter Nine to a total of 6,908 words.
I swear there's still another 1 or 2k left in it, too.
Okay now my official writing total for the day is 3,252 words.
I wrote that much in one day? Really? Okay, let's go with that.
So, if you're '1667'-ing it, I'm ahead by 2,213, you have no hope.

i don'twannasay GOODNIGHT, to Records ILOVE.

The kid is back. New count is 29,336 words.
Obviously I'm going to kick my Weekend Three goal of 30k out of the water.
But, wowzers, this chapter is like never-ending, not that I'm complaining 'cause all words are good words, and it's a fun chapter.
By never-ending, I mean that SOFAR it's 5,692 words, and there's got to be at least 1k left in it.
Today I wrote 2,036 words, and wow.
I've been doing the self-wordwars, and that's like the best thing ever.

Today's music was half of Rilo Kiley's 'Under The Blacklight' album and half of The Rocket Summer's 'Do You Feel' album. Go check 'em out. 28339

And, if you're going '1667' a day, I'm beating you into the ground by 997 words.
Now that's more like it.

Friday, November 16, 2007

such an innocent LETTER.

And my word count total is... 27,300 words!
Yeah, that means that today I wrote 1,813 words.
Which makes Chapter Nine so far total 3,656 words, and it's not near being done yet.
Yes, this is fabulous.
If you're going '1667' then I'm leading you by 628 words.

Yeah, you guessed it, I still haven't cut that bad pop (Ashley Tisdale) from my soundtrack, and yes, I did get mostly distracted by TV again.

Thursday, November 15, 2007

youarethe EARTH beneath MyFeet, youaremy GRAVITY.

Okay, this is so much better. Today marks the halfway point of the month, and my wordcount is now 25,487 words. Beat that.
So, that means that today I wrote 1,843 words. Which means that so far Chapter Nine is 1,843 words, and it's just barely a quarter finished.
And, if you're going at this whole thing by '1667' then I'm 482 words ahead of you.

Today's soundtrack was pretty fabulous. The Audition 'Controversy Loves Company' ;; My American Heart 'Hiding Inside The Horrible Weather' ;; and yes, a little bit of shitty pop music, but only a little.

Wednesday, November 14, 2007

wheniWilled OURLOVE to DIE.

Okay, I suck, I didn't hit 25k. But, I did hit 23,644 words. Which is good too.
That means that today I wrote 1,240 whole words. That's disappointing.
Tomorrow I will hit 25k, I will, I will.
Chapter Eight is a total of 3,646 words. That's good.
It's not by best chapter, but I like what I managed to make it.

No music today, except a few Rilo Kiley tracks.
Nope, today I was mucho distracted by a Project Runway marathon.

If you're a '1667'-er, I'm only ahead of you by 306 words, you can still catch up.

Tuesday, November 13, 2007

this CITY wasthe BluePRINT for HELL.

My new total word count is... 22,404! Aren't you proud of me?
So, today I wrote 2,068 words, and so far Chapter Eight is a total of 2,406 words.
If you're going '1667' words a day, then I'm 733 words ahead of you.

Today, I went back to the beginning, which feels like so long ago, for my day thirteen soundtrack, Rilo Kiley and Kanye West.

Monday, November 12, 2007

'til the ANGELS hung Around.

So, 20,336 will be my total for today.
Chapter Seven comes to a sorry total of 1,189 words.
Chapter Eight is started and is currently 338 words.
Those were both written today.
If I don't write at least 2k tomorrow, no less, I'm going to get BEHIND.
And, I'm going to need to add maybe two chapters to my grand outline.

Today, shoot me, I listened to the Ashley Tisdale album 'Headstrong' for a laugh; then drowned it out with Rilo Kiley, and am finishing off with a healthy dose of Chiodos.

If you're doing '1667' then you're at 20,003 and I'm at 20,336. Kicking you only by 333 words.

Sunday, November 11, 2007

sayingGoodbye, makes me feellikeSAYINGsorry.

Okay, day eleven concludes, leaving me with a total of 18,759 words.
Damnit I wanted to be at 20k.
But, today I wrote an Interlude, and it's 1,138. That's disappointing. I'll do better this week.
I'm 422 words ahead of those doing the '1667' approach. That number always makes me feel better.

Today was another day mostly without music, but I did listen to the album 'Hiding Inside The Horrible Weather' by My American Heart, and a tiny little bit of Hawthorne Heights.

Tomorrow I'll be better.
