Aw, Castle supports NaNoWriMo. Okay, I know Castle isn't a real person, but it's still nice to hear. Or read, rather.
I'm doing all right at the moment. Writing at work is going very slowly. I'm very paranoid about writing when other people are in the room, so I can sneak in about an hour and a half of writing before my office buddy shows up. I also try to write at lunch, but I'm usually too busy eating to get much done. But office buddy has a meeting every Thursday afternoon, so I'll be able to write to my heart's content, well, within reason at any rate.
My word total is hovering under the 12,000 mark. So in terms of quotas, I'm ahead of the curve. That's the first week done and only in the first four days. I don't plan to take any days off, except for maybe a few hours on the weekend to catch up on TV, so as long as I don't run out of story, I'll be cruising right along. I'm at a point where I don't care what I'm writing as long as I get words down. What I have so far isn't very flowy or stylistically engaging, but it's words and thus, I am happy.
Off the topic of writing, I failed horribly in the Legend of Seeker department. I was all ready to watch the first season in time to watch the second and that never happened. Made it through the first two episodes and then I stalled. I probably won't be able to catch up until December, after NaNoWriMo is done. But one thing struck me as I watched the pilot:
How does Kahlan keep her white dress so clean? She's running around in the woods and it's spotless most of the time. Is that part of her power, too? ;-)
Back to writing. I think NaNoWriMo is perfect for obsessive compulsive people like me. All that's running through my head right now is, "OMG! Gotta make quota!" And I will always try to because I can't stand the thought of not making quota. I'm either very motivated or very sad. It's probably the second one. :-)
