Day 2 - 28 days remaining

Stories that want to be told are not "out there."
They're in you.

— John Truby



And now’s the time to bring that story out, make it real, word by word. You can do it, Nano Writer! Today’s word count is 3,334.

Questions? Comments? It’s early days! Your story world is still new - have fun! And keep writing!

Haaaaa, I'm tumbling into the pitfall of 'Oh, I had a good word count yesterday, and I've shown that I can get it pretty easily! That means I can procrastinate more!' *facepalm* Yeah, but can I procrastinate after I hit the daily?

(That and my laptop's decided to give me the black screen of doom. D: I can still access my files but damn was I crushed when I thought I couldn't - this is the first time I've written all my notes on my laptop. Hopefully I can get it fixed this weekend!)

Oh no! I'm very happy to hear that you've haven't lost anything so consider yourself very lucky and make back up plans okay? It can be as easy as e-mailing your daily writing to yourself or posting them in your journal here at Dreamwidth (I do both and back up on a thumb drive, paranoid writer that I am).

Hmmm as to procrastination... how much of a gambler are you? As you have first hand experience, problems can rear their ugly head at any time. It's nice to have a nice fat word count to fall back on but I've known a Nano writer or two that liked to run lean and mean...

Good luck with the laptop repairs this weekend!

As soon as I found out I still had access to task manager, I was right onto firefox and e-mailing all the important stuff. XDD Except, I can't seem to access the internet on the laptop now, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the USB will still be accessable by Friday. Also, woo-hoo for having a really old PC that's mostly all right! XD;; At the moment, I'm saving the doc on my laptop, my flashdrive, and on dreamwidth - though I haven't posted my entire plan on dw, mainly because I'll probably post it publically, and then the twists will be ruined. XD

I haaaate to gamble, which is why I'm 2k ahead right now, and hoping I can shove the bar even further today. :) If I start stressing, that pretty much kills my writer self, so yeah, can't let that happen!
