It's been a slow week to say the least, with work started after the holidays and several other problems off work has caused a much regreted slowdown in Writing. It's a bit frustrating when you're fresh and your mind churning out ideas and motivation and you're stuck in the room without a computer. I resorted to writing excerpts of anything I've taken a fancy to using the old ways, paper and pencil. Even with that done coming home doesn't exactly give much time to write, after a hard day slogging at work and then accompanying dinner and time spent with friends and Laura, its usually midnight when I'm back home, pooped out and mentally tired.
Today I finally managed to get some worthwhile writing and am quite pleased with the result. I've written around 2,000 words plus a day for the past few days but reading back I'm not too satisfied at what I wrote out and on better days I've to go back and review the previous two chapters to bring it up to quality. It really doesn't pay to write when you're worn out, half the thing you write turns out as garbage and you spend even more time later correcting your own mess.
I'm okay with the current progress, I well near 30,000 words and with the weekends coming I'm yearning to make up for loss time during these weekdays. It's starting to seem like my Story won't reach a conclusion even when hitting the target of 50,000 words. I'm already at Chapter 8 (which seem to grow and grow from what I've originally planned) and my story barely scratched the surface. Seems like to get the novel that I want it might take double that amount of words to achieve (I've planned 36 chapters, so you do the maths). Well good luck to all other nano writers, signing out now.
