Hrm, well, uh, I'm still at 1215. Same as the first day. Just been too stressed out, with work and like, uh, 5 essays due. I'm starting work on a Spanish composition at the moment, actually.
I don't think I'll make 50,000 words. I'll be lucky if I get back to actually writing, lol. I've got a promising start, but I'm not motivated enough at the moment to write. Emotionally motivated. I definitely should get credit for all these words I'm writing on the essays!

It's okay Azora, after a painstaking week trying to juggle it all at 6,800 words I've decided to quit. Not stop writing my story, just stop making it to 50k. I have 20 hours of work, 30 hours of class plus I'm doing 9 hours of intensive work for my internship with research and database building. I reset the goal to 25k for the end of the month instead just to keep me at it but alas unless I have a Thanksgiving miracle of 12-20k that's it for me : (

Well if it makes you guys feel better, I haven't been working on my "real" novel at all. Pretty much the Nano novel is taking the writing time of that one. (aka between 1-2:30 in the morning.) Shame because I'm feeling motivated to work on that one again, but at the same time I'm enjoying this new one so I figure 'eh, why not".

BILL GATES ATE MY NOVEL.... I'd just broken 3K when I decided to upgrade Windows and I didn't make a back-up of anything on that computer and it's all gone~~ I've learned my lesson, always, always, back-up the computer, but now I don't want to rewrite all of those words...

I think it's good that I even got that many words, honestly. I can still write, I think I just need some peace and quiet and some motivation and NO stress. I had that on the first day of nano somehow. I didn't even think I could write anything anymore. But it's still there, and my muses are still there, and maybe it's enough for me to even have a start. I'll work on it from here I think. In my own time. I don't know about in November. Haha. I won't have any thanksgiving miracles. Thanksgiving I'll be at my mom's for most of the day, and since I work in retail now, uh, the day of Thanksgiving no longer exists in my mind as a day, but as a small piece of hell that I will have to live through.
