day three begins

And so the fillers begin. On the one hand, I'm typing because I need to make my word count. On the other hand, I'm typing because I need to make my word count. I'm still keeping up a pretty good pace, but I'm losing my place in the plot with all the flashbacks and fillers I'm doing. Not that much has happened. After the initial catalyst, my main characters set off to find out what happened. That's about it. Oh, and they ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It keep me optimistic about my chances of hitting 50,000 with this novel. As long as I keep this pace, it should work out ok. It might get a little tedious after a while, but hey, it's just a draft.

I still want to write this, though, which gives me incentive to work on my homework ahead of time, instead of procrastinating like I usually do. I managed to finish early both days since nanowrimo started. I keep telling myself that I after I hit the 1700 words/day quota, I can't write again (to make my personal 2000 words/day quota) until I finish my homework. Hopefully this will last through the month. It's only day three, and I'm already feeling the strain of forcing myself to write. It's a good thing, I think. It's like that burn you feel when you stretch after you haven't for a long time. Except, in this case, I haven't really used these muscles ever...
