NaNo day 15 & 16

Somehow, my writing sort of keeps flowing. Not the type of flowing some people seem to experience, where they crank out millions of words and the story seems to write itself. It's still hard for me to sit down, concentrate and actually write, and to go past those first moments where I'm trying to settle on the next scene. But once I do, I get 500-1,000 words easily. It's been going in a steady pace these last few days, at about 2,500 each day. Which means I'm finally finding the rhythm I was looking for in the first place. I try for about 1,500 and think of any paragraph extra as a bonus. I'm so hoping I can keep that up! The weekend looks like it's going to be about friends and fun, so probably little writing, especially on Sunday. And then in just a week and a half I'll be going home... It's the strangest feeling. I've gotten so used to living here! As for NaNo - 30k I'm on my way.

Quinn--That is so great, keep up the good work. I woke up at 5am today to say goodbye to my Aunt. After, I sat down at my computer to do a little writing. I opened up my file and read the last line I wrote and went... HUH? I had totally forgotten what I had written just five days ago! Anyway, I am back in the swing and hope to have a bunch of words written today and tomorrow. Happy writing!
