NANOWRIMO mid-way through the month.

This is the 3rd year that I have attempted to complete NANOWRIMO or National Novel writing month.  The goal 50,000 words in 30 days.  Current word count ______ to embarrassed to admit, but I have a solid plan to reach 50,000 by November 30th.  As 2010 draws to a close, I have done very little on the writing front and I am fighting procrastination and actually I am leaning towards self-publication in 2011.  Hopefully, I will be self-publishing my NANOWRIMO novel. As I fight my procrastination I am starting to utilize the To Do list to help encourage action.

Writing To Do List for 11/15/2010

1. Complete Writing Goal of 5000 words.
2. Start researching Self-publishing 
3. Find a book to help me with Structuring my plots.

I am sure somewhere on my extensive bookshelf I have a book about plots.  The question is; will I find it or get lazy and buy a new one!

How do you overcome procrastination or writer's block?

OMG! I just can't get with it today!

It is 11:14pm and I am gonna do a short post about my day.  I wrote my 250 words, so I am on point with my 250 word a day challenge.  And while 250 words may not sound like a lot; try coming up with 25 words when you have nothing to say! It's difficult, trust me.  I am presently in a Master Degree program for Psychology and finals week is next week and I am no where near ready.  I still have a paper to write, can that count towards my daily word count? Anyway, I am going to have to get on point and finish this work and end this semester on a good note; although due to finances; I don't think I will be going back next semester; but I still want to get decent grades in case I go back or transfer to another more affordable school.  Well, I am tired and will blog about more important stuff tomorrow.  Always leave them wanting more! LOL!
