NaNoWriMo Update: Week Two

I didn't do so well last week. There were a lot of real life distractions but mostly day job obligations and very, very tired brains.
I'm a little unmotivated starting off this week but I'm trying to get back into it.
My NaNo soundtrack is def helping and knowing that others are struggling with me.
I have no doubts about finishing so that's something right?
I hope you are all doing well. I miss reading your blogs on a regular basis but there are those of you who are on Facebook with me, I don't miss you any less but at least I get some one liners. :D
Anything new in your life? Any new snow?
We got snow on Saturday. Lots of snow. And to think it was 70 degrees just last week.
Gotta love that Minnesota.
Tell me everything. Tell me all.
I will sit here tapping my foot (with love) waiting for you comments. :)

  4. Hugs!

    I had one of those weeks as well (very tired brains) so my NaNo has suffered a bit. I'm going to try and catch up this week, tired brains permitting. lol.

  5. These things are all so relative.
    We had 90 last week.
    This week I am back in sweaters because it has fallen to the cold old temperature of 68!

  6. Don't worry, Hannnah! I'm sure you'll make up your word count in no time. Day jobs and being tired are good reasons to pause in writing. I know I did that a bit last week and over the weekend too.

    Ugh for snow! I had enough last winter to last me a lifetime. *laughs*

  7. yeah NaNo's been a bit of a struggle for me this year too, though like you, i'm sure i'll finish. I wonder if i'm struggling just because the POV is different for me?

  8. I'm sure you'll finish NaNo! Just keep on trekking!

    It was down below freezing a few nights ago! But that's normal for November, and there was some gorgeous weather recently--blue skies and sunshine. :)

  9. I'm struggling too...not feeling this story. Last year's Nano was SO fun...this year feels almost painful. I blame it on my story.

    I wouldn't mind some snow, to be honest. But it's been gorgeous, sunny, warm/70s all weekend...all fall really. I'm not complaining. It's nice. BUT, I like snow leading into the holidays. And I LOVE snow days when school closes and my family stays home and we watch movies all day in our PJs.

    email me your playlist...I need some new songs/pandora stations. Maybe that'll breathe some new life into me.

    Have a writerly week! :)

  10. You know I'm right there with ya. And I'm enjoying the three-way Facebook commentary among you, me, and Sarah. :) I wish I had a witty AD quote for you right now, but no such luck. :)

    Maybe the holidays will give you some extra writing time? Either way, I have faith in you!

    To the nuts!

  11. I'm glad to hear that you're letting the music move you into action. Excellent.

    I'm almost done with revision. It's amazing but it's true. Just in the last stages. Hahaha!

  14. I'm in your boat too. NaNo writing...slowing...to...crawl.

    Stupid real life. Maybe THIS weekend will be the one when I finally catch up!

  15. I know what you mean! Things seem to get in the way of writing sometimes! Especially jobs and family and such. Wow, snow! Have fun, and don't worry too much about NaNo!

  17. I think I've pretty much given up. Oh. Gasp. That is So not like me. But I think I have. I was playing arounf with 3 different ideas and never settled on one, especially because the one with the highest word count is not fun to write. It is Highly Emotional.

    But you should totes keep going on. I believe in you!

Comment. Please, I beg you! Otherwise, I'll just have to sit here and read my own blogs over and over, making up comments in my head.

I respond to comments via email so if your email is connected to your profile, that's where you'll get one. :)
