Post-NaNoWriMo Update - March 06 & 07, 2017

Thanks to my damn professor uploading completely unuseable/unprintable slides at 11pm last night, I spent most of the time I had planned to use for writing changing the slides to something I could actually print, let alone work with (I mean, come on! It's 2017! WHO the hell is still using background pictures and word art on powerpoint slides meant for your students to print out and use as an aid for taking notes?!).
Anyway - as I needed to print that stuff this morning before taking off to uni, I only managed to squeeze in roughly 45 minutes of writing yesterday, leading to a wordcount of:


Total Words Written: 158.267

In order to make up for that, I ditched any plans of finally working through your waiting posts and comments today and got a ton written instead, leaving me with:


Total Words Written: 160.568

Which is a lot more than I actually anticipated and I'm not even half-way through with the scene I'm working on :D
I also managed to set up the scene for my next planned piece of plot, so that's finally a step into the right direction as well. WOO-HOO!

I think I'll consider this a very successful writing session.

In other -slightly worse- news: thanks to my surprisingly stupid uni schedule (I actually thought it was a rather nice one while I put it together, just goes to show that theory and practice oftentimes differ WIDELY!) I'll most likely have to adapt my writing schedule quite a bit. As it looks like at the moment I'll probably won't be able to write on Sundays at all, and only for a very short time, if at all, both on Mondays and Wednesdays. So I'll probably loose at least two full days worth of words written each week.... NOT GOOD! Now that I'm finally back on track and with Camp NaNo coming up that's a real bummer (at least I'll have two weeks of easter break in April, so that's a glimmer of hope on the horizon for CampNaNo).
Ah well... I'll find a way to make that work, I suppose :)

And now, I'm off to bed to catch up on lost sleep... zzzzZZZZ
*hugs*

UNI and sleep are important so maybe you could reduce the word count target a bit?

And where's the fun in that? ;)

No, joking aside, I do see the sense in reducing the word goals (and to get some proper sleep), but writing is the one thing I'm looking forward to on most days. It's my time to kick back and have fun after a stressful day, so I'm loath to fiddle around with word goals. But I'll probably have to anyway, no matter how much I dislike the thought, with my schedule looking like it does *sigh*
