ugh, so annoyed with myself
So I told my husband I was going to pull a late night and work on NaNoWriMo. The plan was to stock pile a lot of words and then do my real work tomorrow. So it’s 2 AM and I am really tired and have. . . no words written.
On the plus side, I did a lot of my “real work” tonight so I guess that means I can write tomorrow (though I have a lot more “real work” to do than I thought I did which is mildly depressing). My “let me just finish this thing quick” tonight turned into a whole long night of work.
I must say, the temptation to ignore everything in life but the novel until its done is really really tempting but just not realistic. I hope to finish my writing early tomorrow and then enlist the hubby to help me with some of my other work later in the day but I really hate not accomplishing what I say I am going to, even if its on a small scale. I thought about trying to write some anyway but I am really tired and useless right now so I am thinking that’s a bad plan.
On the plus side, I am a little bit ahead of the goal I set for myself so I am hoping this won’t be this big a set back.
My undoing was the election yesterday. I was all in the zone and would have kept writing all night but I stopped to watch the election stuff and lost my mojo. That and we stayed up way too late anyway watching the speeches. Damn you McBama!
Oh well, tomorrow is another day, right?
