NaNoWriMo 2009 Day 12

[ladyseishou]

Day 12 - 18 days remaining

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.

~ E.L. Doctorow



So do your friends think that you're a bit crazy, Nano Writer?

Today's quotation was submitted by Nano Writer mbeancntr (thanks!). For myself, I admit to spontaneous and seemingly unprovoked cursing as I go through my day, a little absentminded, because my characters are whining and moaning at me about the latest plot twist I have planned. The best (read "less embarrassing") time for this to happen is while I'm in the shower but I have been called on it while engaged in conversation with a NWF (Non Writing Friend) and I suddenly ask to be excused to write something down.

And don't even get me started about the times that I've tried to explain to NWFs about NaNoWriMo. Most of them now know that November is "that time" and to leave me to it...

Speaking of which, the word count today is 20,000! It's a nice even number! How is everyone doing? Excerpts? Questions? Comments? Spontaneous cursing?

Keep writing!

You are very lucky to have such wonderful friends! Just having someone to bounce ideas off of is worth their weight in gold. Good luck with the wordwar this weekend!
