Happy Pocky Day!

Apparently, November 11 is Pocky Day because when you write the numbers out, 11/11 looks like sticks of Pocky XD Unfortunately, I didn't end up being able to really celebrate it, but my friend inspired me to post at 11:11pm with her post at 11:11 pm (which ended up being at 23:11 because most Japanese blogs go by the 24-hour system). I actually missed 11:11 by a few minutes, but I changed the time stamp just for today :P

In terms of nano-ing, I'm now more than five days ahead and am still on track for finishing around November 20. I thought I would escape Week 2 blues by being ahead and at the part of my novel that I wanted to write from the beginning right now, but the fatigue part of keeping a steady pace of 2k words a day was starting to get to me, and I really didn't feel like writing anything yesterday (although I still churned out my 2k). It was taking me longer and longer to write my daily quota, and I was going to bed later, but having to wake up at the same time, which didn't help. Today was better, and I feel like I'm getting back into the groove again. Or at least, I was able to get my 2k done before midnight. I was also able to pass the halfway mark today, which helped with getting me back into writing.

The next big number is 30k, then 40k, and I'll practically be done!

p.s.--I added the badge that tracks my progress on my blogger template, but for those of you following along on facebook, you can see how I'm doing on my profile ^^
