Tuesday, 1 November 2011 06:20 pmNaturally NaNoWriMo started on a day that I don't actually bring my laptop to school with me. Although I did have about three hours with nothing to do (including maths! since I never do stats outside of class on Tuesdays or Thursdays) so I got in about three hours of writing. And the only edits I made typing it up were adding more words :D So right now I'm sitting pretty at 2014. I think I'm off to do some stats stuff (at least finish the homework, so I can launch straight into the quizzes tomorrow) and then see if I can't write some more.
I'm actually pleased with my progress so far. Yeah, I know, it's only the first day and nothing's happened and I'm sure I'll give up later (wait, no, invincible spell, you can do it!) but I didn't spend a lot of time wondering just what the hell I was supposed to write and spent most of my time just writing, which is what I've been telling myself I needed to do anyway. I can edit and make everything pretty later! For now I just need to get all the words down.
I think what I need to do is find a folder to keep all my writing stuff in - and by "all my writing stuff" I mean all the printouts I'm inevitably going to accumulate trying to work on this between school and home. I don't want to just do the flash drive thing like I tried last year, as I don't actually have much access to computers on the days I don't bring my laptop with me, and anyway I've found that Word's word counts are ridiculously different from Open Office's, and that's just weird.
In other news, still dislike my stats class (no particular reason this time, just thought I'd reiterate), English is okay, speech is harrowing, and mass media is cool if occasionally a bit boring. (No points for guessing which class(es) I'll end up writing the most in.)
Anyway, stats stuff awaits. /: And maybe some rice with stuff in later. (Actually probably not, because if I don't eat it tonight then I can eat it tomorrow morning. But whatever.)
