Okay, so not really. But seriously, I got next to nothing done today. I only wrote 507 words (the actual wordcount of yesterday was 1,297), bringing me to grand total of 1,804. Don't get me wrong, this is still 1,803 more words than I expected, but I really was hoping to keep up with this beast. Oh well. I kinda fell asleep right when I got home from school, and got up just in time to go to the retreat. And my mom was all, "you need sleep. now." So I decided I should go to bed. However, tomorrow is supposed to be WICKED bad weather, and not only do I HEART bad weather, but that means I can be a dork and stay in my room novelling all day. Plus, maybe that will give me inspiration.
I noticed that I can't stand what I've already written. I tend to go back and change the really bad mistakes/ make sentenes better. Also, I'm not writing in order. Is that bad? I mean, I'm certainly not starting the begininning, then moving on to the end, and then back to the beginning, but I've been switching between the firs three chapters, adding more information or leaving a lot of blanks. The way I see it is that I can't write everything for the first three chapters if I don't know all the necessary information, such as names and places. So I'll go back later.
Well, tomorrow will be better. I'll have Paramore, Within Temptation, and of course Evanescence to keep me company, and I will hopefull write a lot better when I'm completely awake. Maybe. I really don't understand how authors do it. Also, I've finally come to the conclusion that this novel is basically going to own my life for the next month. Sleep? Homework? Grades? Pshhh. Yeah right.
