camp nanowrimo update 3: final stretch and independent bookstore day!

Hello again!

I can't believe it's the end of another month. Where the hell do these days go. What am I doing with them. It's why I need to set concrete goals for myself and refuse to let myself not meet them. This blog is helping immensely, so I'm definitely going to keep going!

There are only four more days to write for Camp Nanowrimo, basically two if I don't count days I work and don't have much time when I get home, and it's a little shaky on whether or not I'll be able to finish, not going to lie. I have about 33.5K words, which means I have basically tomorrow- I'm done writing for the day today, more on that shortly- to write 17K words. Relevant words, even, because that's part of why I'm going slower than I have in the past, I decided I was going to stick to a plotline and not write for different projects. I've written more than that before in one day- my record is 22K in one day!- but  we'll see if I have the focus and motivation and inspiration. I'm optimistic and very stubborn, so I hope to update you at the end of the week that I got there!

I'm done for the day today because I'm about to leave for an important event- Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief: The Musical! My best friend Allison got tickets for us, and I'm so excited to see it. I don't know whether to expect it to be good like the books or bad like the movie, but regardless it's going to be amazing. And since we're going to be in Seattle, we're also swinging by a bunch of bookstores to celebrate Seattle Independent Bookstore Day! I'm going to get in so much trouble. It's going to be great. :)

I'll update on Wednesday, this week, to let you know how the show and shopping went and whether I was able to complete my story! Wish me luck!
