NaNoWriMo - Day 26


Check this out!
I WON! aksjdfkjasasdfasj. Sorry, I just can't right now.

Today I woke up, knowing I still had to write five thousand more words, I had breakfast, fed my dog and watched a movie. I did the same thing of yesterday. I sat in my living room at two in the afternoon an never left, only to go to the bathroom or eat. I was possessed by my story. It was begging me to write it. To finish it. But I was so obsessed with the word count that decided to paste a little Post-It so i couldn't see it. The last three thousand words went faster.

Now, I'm done with it. My eyes are sore, my back is killing me and let's not talk about my butt. I've been sitting in a damn chair for ten hours! But you know what?

I don't care. I freakin won this thing.

I used to do gymnastics. At the end, that leaves you nothing more than one thing.

It doesn't matter how much something hurts, If you truly want it.

So, here it is:

This is my novel.

I owe this to Tumblr, because I found NaNoWriMo there and The Office Of Letters and Light.

I looooooove NaNoWriMo. Thank you NaNoWriMo!

NaNoWriMo - Day 25


Today I woke up on a bad mood. My eyes were sore because of late writing, and all I wanted was some more sleep. But instead, I helped my mom doing the grocery and some other mom stuff.

Later, we watched a movie and then I took some rest. I began writing after lunch and I haven't even stopped. My story is so about to end that it hurts.

Waaaaait. Where did this month go?

When this NaNo thing began, I was so exited, and scared. Because I've never been able of finishing a draft.

NEVER.

And now, well my story is about to end. I can't believe there's only 5,402 words waiting to be written.

5,402 words to go. 

5, 402 words!

NaNoWriMo - Day 20


Yesterday night, I was writing in my living room. Everything was calm, my mom and dad were watching T.V., my brothers were asleep, my dog was finally quiet!

Yeah, until we received that phone call.

My great grandmother died.

She was 91 years old, she was the most spoiled person I know and everyone loved her. She was sweet and  she had a long happy life, and I'm glad she left this world in peace.

Now, the writing.

Let's just say I'm not in the mood :( my grandma and mom are totally torn and nothing gets me more sad than those lovely women's tears, and I was doing some research because I wanted to go to Oxford, to study Creative Writing. I was reading the Introduction and realized that Creative Writing is a Master In Studies. Not and Undergraduate course. Earth to Gabs! Did you seriously thought it was going to be that easy?

I'm just frustrated. Because I've been visiting the Creative Writing page for months, and haven't done a deep research until today. I was just fooling myself. But I really want to study something that has to do with writing.

Because I am a writer, I don't picture myself doing anything else! I just can't.

Back to the writing, for me begins now, guys. It's 21st in Guatemala already, 12:09AM.

NaNoWriMo - Day 15

Good morning/afternoon/night wherever you guys are, I hope you're okay, because I'm not. Yesterday I took Luna (my dog) for a walk and damn It was cold! After that I went to my friend's house to watch Harry Potter's movies, but her window was open, and I had no sweater. So, today I woke up with the flu. Yeah, I know you're sorry for me, thanks for worrying, haha.

For those who don't know what this picture is, these are my NaNoWriMo stats. Yeah, I didn't wrote a word yesterday. But I wanted to show this to you guys. Because this is the reason we're all doing NaNo. Because we all want to reach the goal.

50,000 words.

So, today is the middle of the month, and yesterday I couldn't *cough* didn't felt like *cough* write, I have to write 2,772 words for today, so I'm in total lockdown at home today, I have to focus.

Still, I'm surprised how much I wrote so far.
