The exact centre of all of existence
Have made notes on 12 of 15 readings for my exam... Just 3 more to go! I can do this! (It helps that I'm taking things in small chunks at a time. It's the only way I've been able to survive this semester.)

Taking a break now.

ETA: This is my 24,000th post on AW! Woo!

All 15 readings have had notes made. Going to check out the PowerPoint slides from the lectures tomorrow... I'm certain there was stuff mentioned in lectures that weren't covered in those readings.

24564 - about halfway to 50K at about halfway through November. Not going to win any speed awards, but it's really nice to be back in the habit of daily writing, and I'm still going strong.

No, my dear. In fourteen days. How many hours is that? 24 hours x 14 = a sh*tload of wasted hours w/ nothing to show for it.

What if I look at it from a different perspective. Okay, put another way, that equals out to, uhh, 350 words a day on average, or is my math off? Hang on--

7.4K / 14 hellish days = I'm screwed. Perhaps my problem is I'm not on drugs. Yet. The night is young.

My writing partner would recommend G&Ts, Red Bull, and cigs. I recommend tea, cookies, and tearing out the modem. :D

Never Give Up, Never Surrender, Foley! (Galaxy Quest reference anyone? no, just me?)

I finally got a little caught up with the word count tonight. 20k, YAY. It's a MIRACLE! Guess the whole, sit ass in chair and just write advice I see all over these boards have truth to them haha.

I found that going into my character's thoughts to explain confusing plot points and let them explain it to me through dialogue is really helpful. And that concludes tonight's segment of "What I learned during NaNo is..."
