and you walked for miles down the shores of california to the coast of mexico, where we could hide and no one had to know.

New word count total is 29,016, and my plot has constant vigor to just keep going.
Thank god that week two is washed away from all of us.
Today was mango-Rockstar energy drink + over 3k word day.  My favorite.
This may totally be a 6k weekend, that would be amazing.  Being very ahead all week would be amazing, since next Saturday I won't be writing at all because I'll be at a concert!

Anyway, music today was Forever the Sickest Kids, Paramore, The Matches, and Bright Eyes.
I'd recommend them all to anyone, as they're all in my all-time-top-20 favorite bands list.

like the cat that caught the cream.

Okay, so today's noveling efforts started off rockin', because I blew eight dollars on two Rockstar energy drinks, a Coke Zero, and four bags of candy.  Yay, this is how we do.
I've been getting worse and worse about remembering my totems, which were more attached to me last year for NaNo.
Anyway, it's still awesome that I'm already halfway through.  It just kept getting easier to write when I you know, found something to write.
So my new word count total is 25,600 words.  Fucking awesome.
Started a new chapter, ten I think, today.

Music was old, rare Panic! at the Disco demos that I've had for years but rarely listen to anymore.  Memories are conducive to noveling.

i'm free, free falling.

Well, I ended off today on a fucking roll!  But I had to stop, so I'll just continue the wild crazy, semi-depository of all this information from H. onto Chris tomorrow, and that'll propel me hopefully to 27k, because I need to start getting a super solid lead, since I won't be able to write on the 22nd at all, and I have no idea what's going on for the next eight days or randomly after that.  So it's best to be prepared.
New word count total is 24k on the dot.   Like, exactly.
So I wrote at least more than 100 words over what my spreadsheet told me that my goal for today was.  Thank you little spreadsheet.  I'll start copying things into the booklet too, and add my new characters and stuff into there.
Who knows what's going to happen next?  Or even where will my next source of caffeine come from?

No music today, oddly enough, apparently I write just as well set to Fight Club, the movie.

i bet it burns; it's numb in my head.

Today sucked. God, week two is like, longgg.  Because it's only Wednesday but I need it to be over now.
I also need: to stop biting my fingers, to buy ten dollars worth of energy drinks tomorrow, to live in a warmer climate.  That's ALL.  It doesn't really seem like a lot to ask for to not have anxiety issues, not have a brother who steals my pop, and for Ohio to stop being colddd.  Really, not a lot to ask for.

Anyway, new word count is 22,367 which I hate, because it's misleading.  I watch my word count when I type and I thought, yes, I have typed like, 2k words today, but no, it's actually only like 1.5k something, how fucking lameee.
I just continued whatever chapter I was last working on.
Somehow, his boss is finally an evil brainwasher and now he's being followed and leaving secret messages with a Starbucks barista.
Now, THIS is more like a NaNovel.
Seat of the pants is fun!

Music today was Tokio Hotel, EMPIRES, and well, that's it.
I need to up my variety, but I have no clue where to start.  Probably with Modest Mouse.

don't you want to believe?

New word total a pretty fucking awesome 20,774.
It feels great to be over that second 10k milestone.
Astounding to think that I'm almost half through already.
Really odd to think that there's only three more 10k goals to hit, though I hoped to go over.
Either way, I'm going to need to throw in another little twist tomorrow, possible evil boss action, because I don't want Chris to admit that he needs H. just yet.
Anyway, pretty lame writing session today, week two fatigue is so much set it.

Music today was Conor Oberst and EMPIRES.
Check out EMPIRES, please, they'll even let you download their album free.

my blue heaven.

Holy hell!  Sophomore Slump week two is apparently not affecting me quite as bad as I had thought it would yesterday.  I pretty much made up for the epic fail of yesterday.
New word count is a quite epic total of 19,173 words!
Which is astounding.  One of only three days so far that I've written more than 2k words for the day.
Anyway, I finished chapter eight which ended up at 2,547 words, which is okayyy, I guess.

I switched up my music today by going with Taking Back Sunday, and then spent a little time with no music at all.

I'm just glad I found a little bit of odd plot to throw in, and something totally random will definitely happen tomorrow.  Yay for evil bosses!

live every second.

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck.  Umm, did I mention fuck?
New word count total for the day is a fucking pathetic 17,008 words.
Yes, I only wrote a little over 300 words today, but I just got home, and I'm officially out of fucking plot.
I need to find a way for the boss to be fucking evil, I just can't think of anything.
Note to self: not a good idea at all to run out of plot in Sophomore Slump week #2.  Fuck.

Music, just like, one song of Tokio Hotel, because I only wrote for 6 minutes before I deadlocked myself in.
But at least I wrote something, right?  It's still progress, at least.  However minor.

FUCK.
