NaNo: Day 4.
November 4, 2009
Hey all!
I’m terribly sorry for not updating this thing. I meant to try and update it every single day of the challenge, but I’ve been so incredibly busy, and I haven’t really gotten the chance to. So, here I am, trying to relax a little before watching Glee and updating my story, and reading 100 or so pages of Frankenstein. I have to finish it by Friday, which is just crazy in itself. If anyone wants to give me an incredibly in depth summary of the entire book – enough of which will help me do a presentation on it – please feel free to message me. 
I started my new job. They’ve got me working register now, which is pretty okay. I’m not as nervous about it as I thought I’d be, but I’m a little nervous about the fact that someone is going to be watching me while I’m working tomorrow. I don’t like that at all. I hate feeling like I’m going to be graded on something. Just like having parents in the car while I’m driving. I can’t do that anymore. I feel like my Dad is judging my every move and I end up driving a million times worse than I really normally drive.
And I drive pretty darn well. I’m not gonna lie. I realized tonight that I’m a pretty skilled driver, especially when it comes to multi-tasking. Haha. I know you’re not supposed to, but if I’m ever in a sticky situation while driving, I can handle myself pretty well. Haha.
Anyway, NaNo. I am over 1/5th of the way through my novel. I think I’ll end up having more than 50,000 words in the end, but I need to make sure I actually finish the story. I need to finish this story. I really want to. It’s coming along really well. I haven’t killed anyone yet, but I think I’m getting there. I have a feeling I won’t really get to write tomorrow, or the next day. My parents are coming up for the day on Friday and I need to somehow finish my Frankenstein project. This weekend I know I’ll write a bit when I’m not working, but I have a feeling I won’t get as much done as I’d like to. A lot of people are really pumped about it too, which is cool. It’s also really awesome, because since all my characters are based on real people, whenever I’m around them, I feel like I’m in my story, which makes me giggle. 
Anyway, I promise to keep everyone updated on the status of the story. I have to go though, because I have so much to do tonight, but good luck everyone with your own stories!
