The Big Hurdle: NaNoWriMo Day 4
Comments (0) So as I move deeper into this crazy plan of writing 50,000 words in 30 days, today I hit the big hurdle that could totally dump the whole thing into the toilet. No, it’s not lack of talent, though I’ve got truckloads of that lying around. I’m talking about my job.
Tonight I got stuck for an hour longer than I wanted to, mostly because we were delivering too many projects in one night, but also in part because when one of those projects was called off until tomorrow, nobody told me. I had to find out by accident about 15 minutes after that call had been made. This happens more often than you’d think, and definitely more often than I’d like it to. And frankly, staying only an hour late is not so bad when you consider some of the 10, 11, and 14 (yes, that’s 14) hour days I’ve worked these last 2 years. So yeah, horrendous work schedule + 2000 words per day writing schedule = Tgreen’s headache. It wouldn’t be easy to write at work, but I may have to figure out a way to do it.
In better news, the book’s up to about 9,400 words, and the story’s still flowing. Yee hah!
Coming soon, an honest-to-god excerpt. I promise.
