NaNoWriMo 2010 - Day 3

[ladyseishou]

Day 3 - 27 days remaining

Some writers do plan everything.
They must not be as often distracted as I am.
Get it on paper, in any form that you can.

- CJ Cherryh



So was it a day of distractions, Nano Writer? It can be a hard thing to find the time to write, so you really need to take advantage of any situation...

Lunch at the office? Bring out your special notebook. Waiting for class to start? Add a few sentences to your story. Anything that you write gets you that much closer to the word goal for the day!

I've borrowed an oversized piece of newsprint from my daughter to sketch out a part of my story world and ended up writing parts of scenes all over the thing - front and back. What was the most unusual thing that you've used to write with or on? As they say, necessity is the mother of invention!

Today the number to beat is 5,000. Excerpts? Concerns? Questions? Hugs?

Remember to keep writing, Nano Writer!

Here's a distraction. No matter HOW TEMPTING and no matter HOW FUN and no matter HOW ADDICTING, do not purchase Peggle Deluxe (or any other PopCap games for that matter) while NaNo-ing.

Don't. Do. It.

I shall be making a start on day three shortly. Goal for the day is 5K new words (and I'm still a few K ahead of my worst NaNo rival. MWAHAHAHA!).

Bejeweled was my siren. In the end I had to delete the app from my Touch. I will heed your warning and stay clear of Peggle until NaNo is done! And good luck with keeping a lead on your rival!

I can also (not) recommend Plants vs Zombies. That's a hilarious idea and great fun. :)

(I've taken the liberty of adding you, btw. You seem nice and easy to talk to.)

I've added you too! Hope the rivalry is still going well!
