I am behind schedule on my NaNo challenge

I survived the first two days of the challenge. I did not write anything for Day 3. If you include today, I will have to write 3,400 words to be completely caught up.

I hate to admit it, but I am already getting burned out on this challenge. I have almost quit twice. Boy, was that a mistake. Once my friends that are also participating in this found out, I got nailed. They were not rude. My friends just told me to not give up so easily and write what I can. I had plenty of time to catch up. This is true. There are twenty-six more days left to catch up. 

I think I may have found a way to help me make it through NaNoWriMo 2012. Write my story down on paper first, THEN type it up in the offline electronic diary I am using as a writing journal. I make sure I have the word count tool page open on the internet. There are three I use frequently.

It helps me to see how many words I have left to write to reach my word goal for the day. Of course, when I do, I copy and paste my words in the word count validator on http://www.nanowrimo.org.

I have a great support team and I will try NOT to quit this challenge.

Until next time...

Happy Writing!
