Four and Five kind of slipped by. Yesterday I stared at the computer screen for close to half an hour before tearing up and crawling away to the couch to commence emotional exhaustion freakout - but Day Six (today!) proved miraculous, when I played catch-up and pulled off the amazing feat of writing 3,743 words in one morning. In one sitting, actually. Did I mention I was chewing gum, making breakfast, playing piano, and saving the solar system at the same time?
I also went into work for three hours and caught up on some paperwork.
And I went to the bank.
And the grocery store.
And I made supper (okay, out of a box, but still).
And now it's bedtime.
I would tone down the bravado a bit here and say that it's just a rough draft, it's not like it's a crafted project, but it says RIGHT THERE in the NaNoWriMo Noveling Affidavit on the fridge that gross exaggerations of the trials and tribulations involved with said project that will wreak on every other aspect of my life are COMPLETELY ADMISSABLE, while any form of self-bullying, -deprecation, -censorship, or -abuse are COMPLETELY FORBIDDEN.
It'll be over soon, folks.
Day Six Total Cumulative Word Count: 10,105.
Sweet.
