It is Day 2 of NaNoWriMo and so far I have been ahead. I told myself that I was going to try to write at least 2000 words a day so that I can always be just a little bit ahead of the game. So far it has been working because I wrote 2030 words on Day 1 and today I wrote 2118 words.
I’m also going to try to finish this thing before Thanksgiving. Or at least be well ahead before Thanksgiving because I’m going to lose four days of writing. Every year my family and I have Thanksgiving dinner at my grandparents’ house and then my sisters, parents, and I go away for the weekend. Even though I come back that Sunday, I doubt I’m going to be writing anything that day. The cottage we stay at has wi-fi now, but I’m not going to be dragging my laptop.
However, I got bored while waiting for NaNo to start, so I started something new in a notebook. Plus, Hurricane Sandy was happening so I was afraid to turn on my laptop. Anyway, I will probably bring that notebook with me when we go away so I will be getting something done at least. Hopefully, anyway.
Speaking of the hurricane, I hope that everyone is safe and sound from it. I have to say that I was a bit excited because my school lost power so I had no school on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. And my work was closed on Monday and I don’t work on Tuesdays anyway, so I had a four-day weekend. Of course, I went back to work on Wednesday, yesterday, and I have work today. But I did not go to school today or yesterday because…I went to do the doctor last Saturday and I have pneumonia. So I am glad that the hurricane cancelled school for three days because I wasn’t going to be able to go to school in the first place. This way, I only missed two days instead of five.
I am feeling a bit better, hence why I am still going to work. However, waking up at 5:30 every morning to go to school…pneumonia took a huge toll on me so there was no way that I was going to be able to get up that early spend a few hours at school and then go immediately to work for a few hours. It just was not going to happening. Unfortunately, I am going to have to go back to school next week which sucks because I know that I’m still not going to be better. I have to go back to the doctor on Tuesday for a follow-up, so we’ll see how that goes.
Anyway, I hope everyone is safe from Sandy, I hope everyone is in good health, and I hope that everyone is off to a great start on NaNo. Good luck everyone! 🙂
