NaNoWriMo: Day 4
Word Count: 496

I will not panic, I will not panic, I will not panic ...

I will, however, kick the shit out of netscape if it doesn't stop crashing. Argh! And yes, Outlook, if you don't stop it with the infinite slowness of doom, I shall smite you, too!

I need coffee.

Trivia factlet of the day: The Lemon from U2's Zoo TV tour is stored in pieces in three different warehouses in Belgium.

"The all-purpose short sleeve white t-shirt (Represented here by a map of Belgium)" The NaNo people are on the special crack, yo.

I need a title for my NaNovel. Aaarrrrrgh.

Discovered this weekend that That Blasted Rod Stewart Song still makes me sniffly. I hate my brain.

Also, people on the NaNo page who are going "Argh! I only have x-thousand words"? Bite. Me.

Meh.

On the good side: got more feedback for Evitar, which is making me feel a lot better. It's nice to realise that I actually am improving as a writer.

Yup; on two occasions I wrote 50000-word novels in the course of a week, but both times, it was the summer holidays, I had no commitments whatsoever, and I went online for a maximum of ten minutes each day - if at all. (Though how I managed that, I have no idea.) And talking about novels definitely slows them down - apart from taking up time, you get much fonder of talking about them than actually writing them.

I think I could write 50000 words of personal utter bumph in the space of twenty four hours, if I wanted to: I can type at over 2000 words an hour, and I'm good enough at rambling to keep going for that long. But fiction? No. The most I've ever done in a day, fiction-wise, was 10000 words, and that meant not going online until late evening.
