February is going badly. This month, I have written just over 3,000 words, which is bad, as my target for the month is around 20,000 words. Luckily, I have 10k over my target to fall back on, but I feel guilty for not writing. Am I the only person who feels like that?
I wrote just over 1,000 words yesterday, and am playing the sims a little this morning, then going out for the day, and then I'll write this evening (and maybe play the sims more :P). I think I'm finding it difficult to get through the chapter I'm writing at the moment, as its mainly filler, and that can get a bit boring sometimes. I just need to plough on through it and stop avoiding it, and then I'll be back to the interesting parts of the story. My novel is standing at just over 30,000 words, and I think it's around the half-way point at the moment, so 60,000 words for this novel would be amazing! That'd be longer than the one I wrote for NaNoWriMo.
NaNoWriMo, that's another thing. When is too early to start planning for it? I already have a vague idea of what I want to write for it, but right now, I'm writing one novel in a series, then am going to move on to a vampire novel (that will either be a trilogy or a series, I'll decide when I've written the first one probably) and then maybe by the time I've finished that, it'll be November xD I highly doubt that - I might need more novels and writing to occupy my time. If it's February now, and I'm halfway through my current novel, then that should hopefully be finished by the end of March/sometime in April. Then I'll move on to the Vampire one, and I'm still not sure where that novel is really going (I'm just letting my characters lead the way, and decide their own fates) so I haven't a clue how long that will take to write. Then there'll be the second book in my current series to be written as well. NaNoWriMo needs to be an unstarted novel, so I will probably go with the small idea I have at the moment - it should be fun to write.
At least I'm enjoying writing, and I think thats the main part, even if I do lack the motivation to actually sit down and write something, and would rather be playing on the sims a lot of the time, because that's fun and my sim is about to have a baby xD Why would I not want to play the sims, seriously?
And now you're probably thinking that I talk way too much, and if I put in as much effort into my story as I do when writing my blog, I would be finished in no time at all.
Maybe I should actually start properly writing now...
