Saved by Morbidity - NaNoWriMo Day 16

11/17/2014

1 Comment

 
So after my computer crash of Day 15, Day 16 was the house crash. My house has decided that in cold weather, the locks will never open. So I had the fun adventure of breaking into my own house, which I guess the positive side of that is that my house is not burglar friendly. I was saved only by the fact that I have skinny spidery arms that can get into tight spaces. 

What does this have to do with NaNoWriMo? Well, seeing that events in my life are escalating, I couldn't help but wonder if I will survive until November 30th. So I told a friend that I may need her to finish my NaNo for me in case I don't make it. It was a passing comment, but once I said it, I had to make good on it. So my word count for Day 16 is based purely on me laying down all of the spoilers. Sick joke, I know, but it is a useful one. I've laid down some bare bones but at least I've laid them down. Day 17-30 will all be about fleshing it out. It is far easier to flesh than to invent. So hopefully this means that my daily word count will be on the rise, at least back to 1,667. 

Busy week ahead, though, and I need to seriously start making better offerings to the gods of November, because they are out to get me!

Ashley! The same thing happened over here at my house! (though the place you live is much colder, hehe), but my front door knob jammed as I was trying to invite some guests into the house so I was left jiggling the knob like an idiot for a good five minutes. Kind of embarrassing when you realize this has happened and people are watching you and wondering what's going on and whether you actually live at this house, haha. Luckily, the back door was fine...(though everyone had to see my horribly disorganized garage!) And I hope everything comes out well in the end with your story. It sounds like you'll shake your fist at those impish November spirits and get back to business in no time!
