Mood: Squirrel Baby
It occurs to me that for a pretty complain-y looking blog, I'm a pretty happy person. I mean the name and background are pretty deceiving based on what I post. Although I do think Sad Unicorn fits in perfectly.
I've been working through the block. I think I may have figured it out to where, at the very least, a reader will acknoledge that it is semi-plausible in a fiction world.
That was a lot of conditions. Oh well.
So, I've decided to start writing again this weekend. I don't feel up for it during the week, especially feeling so tired and sick lately. But at the same time I feel as though I shouldn't slack off. Then again, every writer needs a break, right?
See where Squirrel Baby comes in?
Plus, that friend I told you about? She will not stop badgering me about the book. And while I'm extremely flattered and excited that I've garnered such a response form a reader, she is driving me up the wall!!! When I first showed it to her, she gave me two weeks to finish it. May I remind you, I still had seven chapters to finish. So after I explained to her that that was, frankly, impossible she asked me when I thought it would be done.
I guess 'Before Thanksgiving' wasn't a suitable answer.

YES! Attack of the Werewolf.
YAY!! Last night I managed to finish another chapter! Out of a total of 15 chapters, I'm a third done!! And it took me less than two months! And I configured (cool word) the total word count and it's probably going to be slightly under 50,000.
Which is the part that makes me sad. 50,000 is the minimum for a novel right? So I have to get it over 50,000 to be able to sell it as such...which means I can't say this is my first novel. (Oh who cares, I'll just fudge it.)
But anyway, I have a theory. based on my writing habits (getting my inspiration to write just before I have to go to bed ) that left to my own devices I would become nocturnal.
Just me.
I have to find some way to break this habit because school starts up soon, and I need to get it my book done before 2011. Wish me luck!
