    Alrighty! Made it to 25000! However, my story faces a grave challenge coming up - exam week, as well as a ****load of assignments and such, one of which is due on Tuesday, which I should have been doing now, probably. Meh.

    Eeek! One of my characters just commited suicide randomly without telling me first!

    Seven year old girls should not walk up to windows, break them, then leap out to their deaths ... but meh. I suppose it's advancing the plot faster than it otherwise would have, and I'm no longer writing the book my MC is reading :)

    My NaNo days may be up :(

    Time is getting pretty scarce for me my word count has seriously fallen behind. I'll try to keep writing, but I don't think I will make the target :(

    Whee, I'm feeling totally ****ed. Just tonight and last night I think I began getting entirely bored with this and realised that I could be doing better things. The problem with my plot is that I like it too much to start throwing in the plot ninjas and space aliens, but the other problem is that the plot hasn't even started yet! And to make the plot effective, all this painful dragging out is necessary.

    Urgh, bad night for writing. Tomorrow had better be better.

    Feel the angst...

    Edit: And tomorrow is here and all is now well! Yay! The plot even made a giant leap closer to being a reality :)

    I've spent the entire free day I've had (should have been practicing for a recital ;) ) writing and I'm now at 30,000 words. 4500 more and Aik has to make his MC steal a jar of pickled eggs :)

    Muahahahahaha! I reached the target last night! I'll let you off though, since it was only because I didn't want my MC riding into battle on a yak that I actually managed to write it all ;)

    Hmm, I think stealing pickles will be easy - she probably won't know what they are though :p

    (Fear my 40000+ words :) )
