"Screw you guys, I'm going home."

Nothing like South Park to make me want to write. :)

Needless to say, I haven't written anything, since I stayed up until 6:30 in the morning last week writing and got up to my almost 12,000 words, which look pitiful now. People have already written their 50,000 words on the site. A user by the name of "God" has written 200,000 or so he claims.

Anyway, I looked over my schedule for the month of November. It was enough to make me cry. Almost. I am a busy girl. So, I decided to make some new goals, based off how my first three chapters turned out, and my school schedule.

My 50,000 word goal is hopefully going to be reached by November 18th. That is in 12 days, including today. Very doable. That gives me...12 days to gain another 20,000 and hit my overall goal os 70,000. Not so doable.

The week after we get back from Thanksgiving, i have three papers due, one on Tuesday, one on Wednesday, and one on Thursday. They are 8, 10, and 12 pages respectively. Hmmm. Along with the fact that my mom is getting her back surgery Thanksgiving week and I will be home, I hope to just simply write those three papers. So come november 30, for sure i will have the 50,000 to win, I just might not reach my personal goal.

There was also the goal of finishing the novel. At the rate the story is progressing, I doubt it. I'm guessing that overall its going to need 150,000-200,000 words to complete. I don't have that time. But it will be likely I'll finish it over Christmas break. And I will, because I'm going to make myself.

*sigh* So that's the update. And off i go to read a book I need to write a paper on for tomorrow. :)
