NaNoWriMo 2014

Well, I did sign up for NaNoWriMo, and I am terrible at it.

I kept delaying signing up because the last three months of the year are usually really busy for me. Not only do I have a ton of birthdays from friends and family, but I like to do things for Halloween and I do usually try to do something for my birthday which is right in the middle of all this nonsense.

What ended up happening was that Halloween was a mess of doing responsible things like having appointments with my bank and cooking, and doing fun things like hand making Halloween decorations and carving pumpkins. All of this took all day. I was surprised and most of it was spent cooking. And the amount of trick-or-treaters we got was ridiculously small. We had three. Only three.

So we started the first of November with a hell of a lot of halloween candy left over, and I got the chance to catch up with some of my friends that were up for the weekend. We all had different halloween parties to go to in the evening so we made the most of our day catching up. The evening I spent throwing together a very cheap, very last minute costume and went out to the party and drank a bottle of rum to myself. This caused the following day to be spent in a hungover agony that was self inflicted and very stupid.

Day 3 of NaNo I had work and then went round to a friends house to play board games, watch Gotham and eat birthday cake. They got me a Batman cake, I have awesome friends.
Sidenote: I got mostly booze and chocolate for my birthday. I repeat- I have awesome friends.
Unfortunatly I got in at about midnight and needed to be up for work in 5 hours time.

Day 4 of NaNo, I finally get a chance to start writing. And I write something around 100-200 words.

Today (Day 5) I'm up to 830. 830 words. I should be in the region of 8300 plus. I am 7500 words behind.

I can't do this. I don't think I can do this. But I'm going to try. Just after I'm done bitching about my inability to do this on the internets. And when I'm done watching stupid youtube videos.
