they'll build statues in our likeness.

Holy fucking hell.  Playing let's write far enough ahead that we can take a weekend off is a DANGEROUS GAME.  Like, my back hurts pretty wicked now, but my plot's got enough fuel to pull me through another 2k+ day tomorrow, which I needdd.
Anyway, my new amazing word count total is 36,005 words, which puts me ahead of the general NaNo curve by like, 3k or something?  Almost enough for my lovely weekend of concerts and memories and rest.
I'm pretty fucking happy with myself, my plot, and my characters right now.  I had totally forgotten how amazing week three and beyond feels, but I remember now and I love it.  I think forgetting what it's like to feel this way is part of the magic of NaNoWriMo.

Music today was Cobra Starship, Hit the Lights, and a little Hey Monday, who may not be that bad afterall.  Noveling is great for keeping your mind and all your options wide open.
Happy week three!

you're gonna need a bodybag.

No update for yesterday, very lame day, but I finished off yesterday with 32k on the dot.
Today I finished with 33,767 which I believe shows that I have my groove back, and I want to write at least 2k on Friday and make my goal tomorrow so that I'll be totally covered for not being able to write at all on Saturday.  Yay concert!
Anyway, I split the novel into two "books" today because I started writing in H. Chiller's p.o.v. which is odd and very, very odd.
Fun day though, time traveling scene ftw.

Music was Cobra Starship, Hit the Lights, Forever the Sickest Kids, and Sing It Loud.
a.k.a., all the bands I get to see live on Saturday!

hold on tight.

So, I almost forgot to update here today because like, I gave like, so little of a shit about anything today.  I gave up today after about 3pm when I hit like, just my bare minimum requirement of like 1300 words and some.
I don't carreeeeee.
Word count total now is 30,595 words, so hey, at least I hit that milestone a little bit ahead of the curve.

Anyway, I ran on only one cup of coffee and Tokio Hotel today.
Tomorrow is for Diet Coke with Hey Monday and nevershoutnever! for music.
If you've never heard of nsn!, please check him out, he's amazing.  Don't check out HM, please, they're terrible, I just sometimes listen to bad music to inspire good novel.
