26.2%

I made it to 26.2% over the weekend, a little over a quarter of the way there. To be honest it doesn't feel like a quarter of work. Maybe its the way I'm writing it, or maybe its just that this is a much longer piece than I anticipated. I figure I'll be working on this long after NaNo is completed. Even it its a festering turd (it is) I'm going to finish the entire thing until I'm satisfied everything is said.

A new mental deadline has been established in my head. I hope to have the entire thing finished by my anniversary. Haha, my guy will be thrilled by the news. There's a competition in May that's almost exactly like NaNoWriMo, except, well, in May. I figure that I'll keep on with the idea and write the next story in what I imagine will be a series of different tales. There are some other ideas I want to flesh out as well. They're flying high now that I have the writing bug within me. Not as scared as I once was.

One of my big goals is to hit 50% by Thanksgiving. I may be going out of town for the weekend, which should make things interesting. I also have a presentation on Wednesday that I have to churn out, plus the thesis statement for my paper in International Relations. All and all thought I'm feeling okay besides some sneezing and fatigue. I think this is a doable accomplishment.

I am a leaf in the wind.

Just have to make it to next Tuesday is all.
