Troubles with My Nano
You may have noticed there was no Punk excerpts the last few days – this is unfortunatly becuase there were none. I was doing really well averaging 3000 words a day but then I got sick during the first week – when I say sick it was a whole saga of emergancy Drs appointments and orders to rest and pain killers that make it hard to think. But ironically this did not impact on my word count – infact it helped it blossum.
Then however, my family came to visit and that was it – up the creek without the proverbial paddle. I was still scrabbling between 500 and 1500 a day but the productivity dwindled especially after an incident with my four year old and ‘pretend’ paint. Said pretend pain was in fact water and we thought we’d caught her when she had only done one room – namely the bathroom but we were mistaken.
A mistake I only discovered at bedtime – her bedroom had been decorated in imaginary paint too – including her bed and all the bedding. I was days clearing this lot up and on top of my meds and what have you I was just too worn out and tired.
So I was just about managing to keep pace with until the rest of my family turned up for a weekend visit and today I finially got a chance to write after 3 days and I managed around 1500 ontop of 500 I had managed over the weekend. I am now scheduled to finish on the 30 November – this morning it was the 1st December – I just couldn’t have that! Though I realise that if the family come back again that completion date will get furthure and further into the future and there is nothing I can really do a bout it.
On the plus side it does mean I have sneaked in a bit more back ground reading – something I am starting to really feel the lack of here!
I am hoping productivity will increase again 🙁 wish me luck!
