But I still managed 600 some odd words, somehow. They're not even all that great. I'm kind of 'writing blind' as it were. I have all these ideas for great scenes in my head and they really inspire me to make them good, like the Gorgax encounter. But all the stuff in between, the traveling and the trials. All that stuff I just am terrible at writing. I procrastinated to a ridiculous extent tonight, I'm very disappointed in myself. I'm capable of better, but when I contemplate writing those sections I really don't know how to write, the fear kind of sinks into me. I have words down and stuff happens but it's not writing I can be proud of. I finished up the Gorgax encounter and that's about all I can really say.
I still haven't determined if I'm going to go a bit further and write until I get to a scene that isn't very far off. A campfire scene that I have definite inspiration for or if I'm going to grind out those fever dreams. I think I'm probably going to get to that campfire scene I see so clearly. No excerpt today, because my stuff is terrible. I'm not going to fix it right now because I don't care enough about it. I really hope tomorrow I can buckle down and get some words out. We'll see.
I also wanted to mention that I agree with you Josi (previous comment). I will have more words than I had when I started. Which is really the point of my NaNoWriMo right now. It gave me a kick in the pants to get me started and now it's up to me to really keep writing the words, trying to make the best novel I can. I plan to keep going on this writing blog for as long as it takes, and I just hope I keep that motivation all the way through.
