The end is near.

I have 35,000 words written so far, with 4 full days left of NaNoWriMo to go. That means I have to write 15,000 words until midnight on November 30th. THAT means I have to write at least 3,750 words a day in order to win this thing.

Can I do it? YES I CAN!

This probably means that I won't be able to really hang out with anyone when I get home, since I'll be spending the whole time writing.

I'm going home today, and I'll be back in HP at around 5pm. If anyone wants to hang out this weekend, I'm going to have my cell phone, so call me! and I might be able to tear myself away from my novel for a few hours.

23735/50000

Felt very productive today, yet the day is not yet over! I can still write more, but alas, homework s calling my name once again, and I have to get it done because tomorrow's the last day before Thanksgiving break, and I'm missing half my classes to work on the Grandparents Day video. If only my grandpa could fly in just a few days earlier, so I could join in... oh well, I guess it'll be good experience working in the media center for half the day. Plus, I'll get free food, and more experience with Final Cut. I made a logo for the event today, and while I'm not too impressed with myself, it's still pretty good. It's passable. But I guess I'm just saying that because I've done cooler, more creative things. Maybe tomorrow I'll work on more logos, or something, but our tech director said he liked the one I made already, and I don't think I'll give him too many choices, as he'll be busy enough tomorrow.

In other news, it hurts when I breath for some odd reason. My mom, who knows mostly everything about the human body, says that one of the muscles that is attached to my ribcage is to blame. That's not what she said exactly, but it was something like that. Anyway, it just hurts the breath deeply, and it kills me to yawn.

Ugh, I need this Thanksgiving break so badly... lots and food and lots of words! I think I should make that my motto for this break.

"Lots of food and even more words!"

I hope I don't get a stomach ache. Or, in this case, a hand cramp, from writing so much!

Oh, and thanks to those who left me comments from the NaNoWriMo forums, I 'ppreciate it!

15033/50000

I sat down and got at least 2000 words today, which made me feel very accomplished. I'm only 5,000 behind, but I think I'll just continue doing a daily 2000 until Thanksgiving Break, when I'll get at least twice a daily word count in every day I have off. That should catch me up completely! My plot is developing at an amazingly nice pace. I haven't gotten too far into the plot yet, so I have a good chance of finishing the actually story after I get to 50000.

My characters are amazing! I love them! I'm going to slowly build up a love story between two of my characters, and when they realize that they love each other, they won't know what hit them! Seriously, they LOATHE each other now, they can't STAND each other! And that's going to make them so perfect for each other, when they realize their attraction towards the end.

I can't wait for the actual plot to take shape, it's taking me so long!
