That's right, Reader, my word count is nearly at 10,000! I've reached an interesting part in my plot. The only reason it's interesting is because Ember has stopped moping, and now nothing is really happening. I'm just waiting for Ember to get a job at the local bar/restaurant, so I can get her so stressed that she finally has a mental breakdown and cries her eyes out. Then she'll be good to go!
Even though my story's hit a slow spot, I'm excited about it. Things are going very well so far! I've hit no walls (in almost 10,000 words) which means I haven't wasted time digging, bombing, vaulting, or otherwise trying to get over, around or through the writer's block. Then again, I'm barely even a fifth of the way through. Supposedly the 30,000 word mark is supposed to be brutal. I don't remember if it was last year or not. Last year's WriMo is all kind of a blur. All I can remember is the fact that I went to Disneyland one day, and only wrote 300 words that day. That was a cool day.
So, I guess I'd better sign off. I may end up writing some more tonight, but it's not too likely. I'm hanging out with my boyfriend; we have a few hours before going to see the new movie Megamind at midnight. We're going with a bunch of people. (So far only five, for sure, though.)
Oh, before I go, I wanted to brag about something.
I don't think I told you (or maybe I did and just can't remember it) but I had to write an essay in class for my History class last Thursday. It was part of the exam. Well, I just got my results today, and guess how well I did, compared to my last score of 78? I got a 98!! I was very proud of myself when I found out; I guess I just needed that one practice essay to figure out exactly what my teacher wanted from our essays. And once I get that practice essay... I rock.
Thank you for dealing with my conceit, Reader.
Happy Thursday!
