Eh, if I make it, I do. And if I don’t then it’s because I didn’t write enough. The end.
November 2011
Because I have nothing else significant to say at the moment.

It’s not luck; it’s determination.
…I will win this if I can. And then my characters will die.
I decided to write while sitting on the edge of my bathtub. I am ankle deep in hot water and very relaxed at the moment. I don’t know if I’ll go to sleep tonight though. It depends on how words I type before two o’clock in the morning.
Totally doable. Yep, my characters will try to do something and maybe even accomplish it during that time. But they both die at the 50k mark.
Right, I totally wrote like a maniac and will clearly finish in time. No, not really. I have a good…15k? At least. Goodbye sleep. 15,749 words and 2 days left.
apple slices with a thin layer of Nutella on the peel.
Do you hear that? It’s the sound of my brain slowing frying. Oddly enough, it sounds just like a bug zapper. *sizzle*
If your tumblr is not your favorite tumblr you’re doing something wrong.
Totally doable. Yep, my characters will try to do something and maybe even accomplish it during that time. But they both die at the 50k mark.

“I thought that I might do this again, though not nearly so frantically. Perhaps not as frankly either. I’m just fluffing up my word count. And why? Obviously to feel accomplished. I don’t feel like it’s cheating. I am writing after all. And I never did set out with a specific plot. I can’t keep this is a note to the reader, because that would be stupid. And clearly, if I’m not distressed I just jump around everything without coming to a single clear conclusion. (Actually, I do that anyway, deliberately going out of my way to not name names.)
Maybe I’ll get better at that. Next year it would be interesting just to have a character do this, talking about their life in a manner that’s so emotional. Though this hardly seems to be anything other than contained; my mind is working slowly today. Probably the lack of quick thought is in response to yesterday. The story would be under a veil of complete bias, but thinking of the possibilities is intriguing. And it seems that today I cannot spell the same words from yesterday. Muscles memory is misplaced and all that.
I should write later, and then I can sleep after. Right now, all I’d end up mentioning would be useless boring things, even to me. I still want to pack up, so I should really get on my excuse for a story. [November 26, 2011]”
trollolol By ‘appear’ I mean I look like I’m pregnant. But I’m not. I gained weight solely in my torso, around the stomach and boobs. This is both amusing and horrifying. I shall lose the weight (as soon as I go back to the dorms I’m hiding my Nutella somewhere).
