Lordy, but I'm tired. Part of me really wants to hit 6,000 words tonight (I'm at 5,891 right now), and the other part of me is saying: "Dude, go to bed."

Another part of me is saying: "Come on, it's 109 words! You can do that!"

And a third part of me is saying: "You know, if you stay up even just a little bit more, by writing 777 words, you'll have written your quota for four days instead of only three! It's a palindrome, too! You know you want to..."

Yet another cheering section is agreeing with the last voice: "You might be crazy for doing it, but it might be better to do it now so that you have a cushion for when you'll inevitably crash and burn. Maybe then you won't fail miserably like you did the last two years."

Then the first voice chimes back in: "Dude, go to bed. If you get enough sleep, then you won't crash and burn later. Pacing is good."

A fifth voices pipes up at that point: "Pacing, shmacing! What about inspiration? What about ART?" (Yes, with that emphasis.)

I really hate my brain sometimes.

I have to post my reply to my Bluebook JP. I shall go do that now. If I have the energy after that, I shall try for 109 words. 109 words isn't hard.

*cheers you on for 109 more words, even as she struggles to type in the 11 pages of scribble that she's done over the last 2 days*

*throws confetti at you*

*adds a cheer for the 109 words*

And that fifth voice... hah. That sounds like what drove me to insane lengths yesterday.

(Well, that and characters that wouldn't shut up.)

I also have slightly-over 100 words left to write tonight.... I'm such a slow writer, though, and I can't let/make myself not edit. Stupid schoolwork. Stupif me leaving my schoolwork to the night before (kinda... I did have to do all the reading first), and then slacking off on LJ instead of just bloody doing it... whoops! :)

Good luck!

You realize that this LJ entry alone is already 228 words? ^_^

according to Microsoft Word (TM), anyway

Ah, LJ. If only I could use it to count towards my NaNo novel. Sadly, random dribbling doesn't count as a novel. ;)

Heh, you should try that one year. Turn random dribbling into a NaNo novel. :D
