9 Days Left

Well, here we are. On the downhill side of NaNoWriMo. I'm currently sitting at just over 23K words. You know, that's not even halfway, and I'm still not stressed out. I found out on Friday that I can do 3500 a day without a problem. I just have to find the motivation to get it done. Today, I took a nibble out of the entire amount by writing 3,000. Unfortunately, the NaNo site and I got into an argument over how much I did write. *growl*

FocusWriter says I did 3,037. NaNo says I only typed 2,400. See why I'm upset? I think I have a right to be upset. I was so upset that I redid the entire master file in case my synced files were off. *sigh* I did have errors on both sides of the computer/sync file equation. Those are all fixed and NaNo still thinks I only did 2,400 words. LAST time, it and FocusWriter agreed a lot closer than that on what I wrote!

Maybe using FocusWriter was a bad idea. I have an extra step thrown in now before I can save and sync my files. I guess I'll just start adding on to my previous files and call it good. Or something. I don't know. I'll think it through tomorrow when I sit down to write.

Tonight, all I want to do is go take a shower, watch an episode or two of Eureka, and head to bed. I DID however, spend some time watching a Twitter stream today. It was the #writechat. Excellent group to sit in on if you get the chance on Sundays. I'm going to start making it a part of my writing habit. I learned so much today. It was exciting. :-)

Now, off to take my shower.
