Methinks my word count will be a bit sparse tonight. I am pooped from being up past midnight the last two nights (with uncooperative babies who decided now is a good time to start waking up at 3am in addition to their midnight and a half milk bottle calls) and I think staring at a computer screen for more time than I have in about 4 years has got my eyes strained (headaches) and my eyelid twitching like mad. I may have to tape it open if I'm to make it to the end of November. I am finding it incredibly hard to get any real work done during the day- too many interruptions to get a thought down on "paper"- so I do a lot of review, where am I-- type stuff (or research) during the day so at night I can just buckle down and get to it.
I found a widget to keep track of my wordcount goal-- it's to the right there. I think I'll have to adjust it in the end because I keep reading that most historical fiction novels run between 70k-87k..so, I guess I'll need a secondary WriMo after this first push...we'll see... but 50k would still be a kick in the pants if I accomplish that.
Well. Off to try and be creative-- my story is fine, I just don't know if I have enough power left in my brain batteries to hear it out through my fingers.
Till next time.
