areyou HavingTROUBLE in St. Louis?

So, I'm finally back on my game. I'm now into chapter five, and I wrote 1,848 words of it today. My word count total is now 12,342.
Finally back to kicking ass, but my novel has me much too busy to be taking names, or showering.

Today's music was the album 'The Meaning In Makeup' by My American Heart. More re-listening to The Audition, and a little bit more of The Junior Varsity there towards the end.

Oh yeah, if you're doing the '1667' approach, I'm kicking your ass by 673 words.
Yeah, here comes my confidence returning.

soifTHISis TheEND, i hope it GoesAsPlanned.

For everyone taking the '1667' aproach, I'm 492 words ahead of you, at a grand total of 10,494.
This is starting to trip me up a little, but I'm going to try to powerhouse tomorrow, I think I just slowed down when I hit a part with less action, but it's all good. Or it should be.

Today was devoted to 'Cinematographic' by The Junior Varsity, one of the year's best albums, as well as re-listening to 'Controversy Loves Company' by The Audition. Listen and learn.

Tomorrow, if my word count doesn't hit 12.5k, someone slap me, hard.
Today though, I hit 1,383.

it'sOBVIOUSthatyou're Dying, dying.

I wanted to make the gap larger, so I succeeded in making the gap smaller.
If you're taking the '1667' approach, you'd have 8,335. I have 9,111. So, down to a mere difference of 776 words.
I wrote 1,455 today. Tomorrow I'll kick the ass of eleven thousand, even if I never leave the laptop.

Redbull, you taste like ass. Sorry, Redbull, I mean that in the best way possible.
Because, your ass-like taste, and what-the-fuck-electric color, you're the first energy to actually give me energy, instead of just depress me. Which is good.

Not as confident. But still kickin' it.
Uh-oh, trouble, a teacher wants to read it when it's done.

Music today was more from My American Heart, Kanye, and Rilo Kiley.

hold your OWN Jacket.

So, I'm getting pretty good at this 'noveling' thing I think.
At least, I'm pretty good about kicking the asses of 'word count goals'.
Mostly trying to stay ahead of anyone doing the '1667' approach.
At the end of day four, they'd be at 6,668, I'm at 7,656. Yeah, I'm kicking their asses by 998 words. Deal with it.
Today I wrote 1,784. Pretty successful if I do say so myself.
Yep, I am getting dangerously arrogant about this. Uh-oh.

Music for today consisted of me rediscovering Hawthorne Heights - 'If Only You Were Lonely', more Kanye, and the new love of my life My American Heart - 'Hiding Inside The Horrible Weather'. Check out any of those that you haven't already. Let your life be changed.

she'sa SEVEN.

Three cheers for a half-finished chapter three.
Today's total is, drum roll please, 5,872, and today I added 2,322 of that.

Hooray for new music. Today I fell in love with: The Rocket Summer, by way of 'The Early Years EP' ;; The Audition, by way of 'Controversy Loves Company'.
I have some new picks all ready for tomorrow.

I am so confident in this whole thing now.
I rock. My novel rocks.

iwasyour SILVERLining.

So, 'The City By The Sea' is well under way. I've finished my first two introductory chapters, so now I can start the REAL action. I'm proud of myself.
I'm at 3,550. The first chapter is 2,080, and the second chapter is 1,470, I think.
May I repeat that I'm proud? I will anyway.
Today I had three cups of coffee, and now, even though I'm done writing for the day, I'm sipping at a most massive energy drink. So, I can't tell if my emotions are real or a product of this 'Taurine' stuff.

I've been listening to the albums 'Under The Blacklight' by Rilo Kiley, and 'Graduation' by Kanye West, and loving both of them. I need to find something else though, because writing for about two and a half hours straight I've gone through both of them twice, and as I learn the lyrics it gets more 'sing along' and less 'background music'.

Wowzers, this is time consuming, but it's hella fun, actually.
Stressful, a little, but hella fun.

thisisthelasttimethat IWILLholdYOUR hand.

So, today was more successful than I thought it'd be.
That inner editor really is a pain, but it's surprisingly easier to chain him to some imaginary dungeon wall.
Finished my first chapter, a little shorter than I wished, but it'll all work out.

WORD COUNT: 2,080

sleptthroughtheWEEKEND.

Yes. Now I have a plan of attack at least.
I've mapped out a chapter outline. Twelve chapters total, so about 4170-5000 words a chapter should do it.
I'll get discount Halloween candy and some other things this week or this weekend.
Here's hoping finding time to write will be easier than it's seeming.

-3 days 'til NaNoWriMo-

letme TELLyouWHY.

So, I think I'll be done after those five writing prompts.
I finished the fanfiction, and now I think I'm plenty warmed up.
This Sunday I'll collect and keep my candy. Oh Halloween, how I love you for giving me free NaNo snacks.
The blankets that I'll use to keep me warm and in good spirits during NaNo are in line for the wash.
It's all counting down now.

-6 days until the NaNoWriMo kickoff. yayz.-
