Week 1 of Nano down

Week one is the easy week. Any veteran Nano-er will tell you that. That's when your story is flowing, you're still energized, your hands have only begun to cramp, all the things you've spent months planning are still working out. Not to mention, it's been so easy, you've had time to make a buffer of words so you remain ahead of the word count just in case.
Now comes week two
Now comes the point where we start to get tired of our characters (or in my case wanting to smack them), and distractions become more and more tempting.
People whom you spent all of october (and sometimes longer) beating into their heads that you will under no circumstances be available for anything in november....forget and start showing up at your house.
Your lack of time, sleep, and knowing that you should be writing slowly decays at your house until you have four loads of unfolded laundry strewn about your floor because you're so tired in the morning you just upend the whole basket onto your bed to try and find clean clothes. then it is promptly tossed back into the hamper (not caring if some misses or not) come the time when you finally get to bed
Not to mention the relaxing time of just staring at a tv and not having to think can become addicting.

Don't give in my fellow insanely driven writers! Write write write!

In other news:

Hopefully it'll be just enough that it will start to look healthy and full again. And even though i DESPISE this actress as well as her most famous role. i have to say i like her haircut.
