Jeanie Writes Genre

You would think that having a long weekend capped off with a snow day and being trapped indoors with no power and nothing better to do than write would culminate in a buttload of words written. In my case, at least, you would be wrong.

I actually managed about 2,500 words over the weekend, which was more than I thought I did; but I wasted a lot of prime writing time shivering under about 30 pounds of blankets, listening to the sky fall and praying that it didn't fall on my house. Which, as it turns out, is not all that conducive to motivating the muse to move. Or the typing fingers, for that matter.

I need to step it up if I'm going to meet my NaNoFiMo goal. As of today, I'm about 6,000 words behind. But I've got a couple of important scenes under my belt, scenes I've been thinking about and envisioning for a few years now. They didn't turn out exactly as originally imagined (when do they ever?), but still, it feels pretty great to have 'em done.

My NaNoFiMo project is still going strong... er, sorta if you don't count the fact that I haven't written anything today. I'm not haranguing you with word count updates this time around. If you're curious about that, there's a ticker over on the sidebar that's tracking my progress. It says my goal is 70,000 words, but that's only because the FiMo goal is at least 30,000, and I started with around 39,000. I think the finished novel will be considerably longer than that, though.

But I'll be damned if I'm not going to finish this draft this year. It's not like there's anything else going on this month--oh, wait.
