I know I have tons of plot holes, but I'm ignoring them.  I'm also not allowed to delete anything unless it's that I've written myself into a corner.  Because of that I've gotten a couple of nice plot twists that I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten before (such as my mc nearly getting beaten to death, and now her getting a title)

I know, right? It's inconsiderate of them.

Heh, having a day to myself like that is actually fairly rare for me... but as long as my job leaves me alone, I'll have more of them now that school's out and most of my other activities will probably drop off as people get lazy over the holidays.

I spent most of NaNo ignoring plot holes, but I don't think I can anymore. I've sort of hit a point where an external problem needs to start informing the characters' actions more than it has been... And that's where all the plot holes are...

Hey, at least you guys are still writing now and then.  I haven't added a word to my NaNo since November 29th when I broke 50K.  I'll finish it eventually...at least that's what I keep telling myself.

Haha. Oh, don't mistake me. I haven't either.

...Yet...

Just you all wait until Friday. *shakes fist*

Ahem. Seriously. Yeah, I've opened the document and looked at it a few times, but haven't actually rewritten anything yet.

The main thing that keeps me going and actually makes me want to write is the fact that I have to get this done by the end of may if I want my book.  So I'm hoping to get it done by then.

I've written another 1368 words.......Makes me happy. I'm finally getting back into writing my book. It's awesome. Right now I'm just rewriting what I've already got, but once I finish that and move onto actually writing, rather that re-writing, I'll really start racking in the word count.....Hopefully.

Unfortunately the computer I type on doesn't even have Microsoft Word...right now I am using something called Rich Text. And so, it doesn't have a wordcount. Unless I copy my documents over to my flashdrive and put it on my desktop computer, I have no idea how much I have written. So I just go by number of kilobytes...I've added about 10 kilobytes in the last day or so.

And I've got another 3243 words written. I feel mentally exhausted now. It kind of sucks....

Alright, so that was pretty lame. 2457 words written. I might be able to get a bit more work done on and off tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll have a chance to get online and update my word count before then if I do... I might come back sometime Jan first and let you know. Don't worry, I'll be honest. ::)
