1 Successful Day

[altogetherisi]

"When writing a novel, that's pretty much entirely what life turns into: 'House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day."
— Neil Gaiman 

Neil Gaiman speaks the truth.

I had a lot of things to get done today. I did maybe three or four of them - the washing up, for the record, was not one of the lucky chosen few. But one of them was starting NaNoWriMo. I haven't written a lot, and lord knows the words I have written aren't great, but I have begun, and even if the whole rest of the month is downhill from here, today just seems like such a good day. The sun was shining and the world was a pleasant place to be and I've been happy all day. Today was a good day.

See world? Not a complete failure.

:D

Isi, you seem to think the world thinks you're a complete failure. We don't, we know you're awesome ^_^ *hugs*

Thanks for posting this. I'd had a long day and I was utterly exhausted and, considering I hadn't officially signed up for NaNo, was debating whether or not it was worth the sleep deprivation.

After reading this, I cracked open a Word document, and am currently on 700 words. I'm struggling to stay awake and the passage isn't particularly decent, but it's SOMETHING.

So just...thanks for keeping me motivated with this. =]

Oh ye gods, do I know the feeling. *sigh* I am so behind on everything I need to do, and managed to miss a meeting with the head of societies to talk about our society accounts because I was reading a book this morning. *facepalm*

Yay for NaNo though! It is getting the words down that is important and I'm so proud you have put some down! I have only 132 myself, but hopefully tomorrow I will make more time and become inspired and write some more. :) I need to shut off my internal editor, it is a terrible thing.

I am glad today was a good day. :D I love you.

THIS IS SO TRUE.

Also we should have a word war. WORD WARS ARE AMAZING.

Congratulations on getting started. :) And good luck on this throughout the rest of November!
