It was my birthhour the other Sunday. And my birthminute. At about 8:20pm on Sunday the 8th of November, I turned 250 000. That's right, I've been alive for over 250 000 hours. Coincidentally, at the same moment, I turned 15 000 000 minutes old....

50019 words, and I've just written "The End". Another first draft to revise...
I'm glad I've finished the story, but I'm not ecstatic. Maybe I don't have to be over the moon about finishing another story, though. I've done it often enough now to...

Today is the Tuesday when the Nanowrimo team is trying to raise $100, 000 dollars. So, just some encouragement and please-type stuff.

I was in a black place. The world around me was black. There was no colour, no light,...

So I'm in a bit of a... state... at the moment. But that's not what I'm here to talk about, those are my own personal problems. Let's just say life sucks, and once again, without fail, the end of November is sucking.

Tonight I gave myself the night off. On the first glance, not the best tactic considering I have written about 3,000 words this week.

So I'm at 185K, not moving as quickly as I would like but I'm confident that I can still hit 350K, and I'm realizing that I might need to change some things.
