Things I Learned About Myself On Day One of NaNo




1. I have to pee every five minutes. Apparently, my bladder understands the need for procrastination.

2. I have restless leg syndrome. Who knew deadline writing could cause leg spasms??

3. Beer works almost as well as wine in terms of inducing creativity. Or just not actually caring what is being written....

4. This video? HilARious. And a great distraction from all things writing.



5. I'm sweating.

6. Writing is FUN when you haven't done it in almost a year...once you get the hang of it again.

7. Something in my apartment is burning, and I'm pretty sure it's my pants from the heat of my computer because it's been on for so long while I stare at things that say 'I pooted' and such and laugh loudly.

8. I have great friends who keep me on track and tell me to shut the ef up when I send random text messages about Cheese and pooting.

9. I wish I had chocolate.

10. I'm glad I don't have chocolate.

11. I can actually write two thousand words a night if I put my mind to it. And it's not all bad. :)

How is NaNo going for everyone else???

  2. Oh no! Now you've given me ways to procrastinate :-). I was actually rather surprised at myself for doing a little over 2,000 words yesterday. Congrats on finishing day one and good luck on the other 29!

  7. Hi *waves* I'm a new follower! This list is hilarious!! Made my day!

    Nano teaches you a lot about yourself, but the one I agreed with the most was the alcohol! I'm so with you, no matter what it is it helps you move along!

    Feel free to stop by my blog later if you'd like! I'd love to have you! http://jennifer-daiker.blogspot.com
