Nanowrimo Update
Are you guys bored with these updates yet? I am. Pressure is building. I am not having enough other fun. Grr.
It's not just because of nano, though.
I listened to a pep talk about how when you are easily distracted and feel the need to do laundry, eat, take a nap, do anything but what you're doing, it's a sign that you are breaking out of your ordinary ways, and the proper response is perseverance. Perseverance may be something you are not used to, so it may feel uncomfortable. But just do it.
Oh, fine. Building character. Rah. Rah. Shish-ka-bob.
I wrote 2275 words today in 3 hours, which sounds good, but which feels like I used the entire afternoon and part of the evening. Six pages of ick. Maybe I'll like it better later. Meanwhile, I'll give you an excerpt from yesterday's writing. This is a conversation between two people who are sharing a tent on a camping trip with four other people in two other nearby tents.

“Woah. Richard! Are you two hitting it off?”
“Well, he's certainly captured my attention. I don't know what he thinks about me.”
“Wow, that's so exciting!”
“Maybe. Don't tell him.”
“You do realize Bubba and I are best friends and we tell each other everything.”
“Ugh.”
“In fact, I think I'm going to have to shout out a message to him right now.”
“Heather, am I going to have to hold this pillow over your face?”
“What pillow? Give me that. My pillow. My two pillows.”
“Well, I thought I'd be polite and give you a nice, comfy death, with a pillow. But if you insist, I'll have to, um, give you the old fingernail treatment.”
“Hmm. I guess I prefer the pillow. Thanks. Here you go.”
