Quandary

[mousme]

A warning for those of you who don't like NaNoWriMo: I'll be discussing it in this post, though on a level which I don't feel belongs in my writing LJ. Feel free to skip this entry as a result of that.


Okay, disclaimer over. I'm in the middle of a very, very serious quandary. I am currently at roughly 83,000 words. I could, theoretically, make it to 85K tonight, and that would put me in a strong position to reach 100K by the end of Thursday. I could then bask in my own awesomeness for quite a while, which is always a nice thing.

On the other hand, I'm tired. A bath sounds really nice right about now, and the last few episodes of Season 1 of Babylon 5 are calling to me.

I've made popcorn. The popcorn will be useful both for writing and for watching B5 (though not for the bath).

*sigh*

Ambition or comfort? You see my problem. Clearly one of those life-and-death situations.

I think I shall continue writing for now. I shall review my options at 8pm, and see if I'm in the middle of a gripping scene which won't leave me alone, or if I'm struggling with the story and the bath sounds even more tempting. One more hour of writing. That's not too bad.

I wonder if it's worth running out to the dep to get myself a fizzy drink with which to have some Amaretto. Or I could make sour mix. As I recall it's two parts water to one part sugar to one part lemon juice. I have all these things.

Hmm.

I vote for amaretto and a fizzy drink. Or maybe that is just the vote of he bottle of Disaronno staring at me from my book shelf....

Amaretto is sounding increasingly like a good plan, yes. Although what that will do to my writing content I can't say. ;)
