Oh my God. I'm so tired.
I started writing 25 hours ago, as the clock hit midnight and it was officially November. I got over 1800 words right there and then - more than the daily average needed for completing. So I got off to a good start, but, needless to say, was very reluctant to leave bed this morning.
I wrote a little before my quartet practice (I sing soprano in a quartet of me an my three friends) and ended up around 2500 words. That's a great count for today, I thought. then I had my practice and dinner at granparents'.
When we got home, I was first very busy with getting to know Kindle and getting my first-ever e-books to read! Long story short, I won a giveaway and got an e-book from it. So I needed to learn how to read e-books. I'm actually pretty hyped! Not only I got Auburn: Outcasts and Underdogs (the giveaway book) but also Amazon gifted me three books right away, which are Pride and Prejudice (I love), The Treasure Island (I want to read) and some fable-thing. Then they gave me $3 to encourage me to buy e-books and so I used it toward a detective story, Play Dead. I've got quite a many e-books now!
Anyway, back to NaNo. I started writing again, and before I knew it, I was over 3000 words. I thought: 4000 might be nice. Then I was at 4500 or so and thought: I'll make it to 5000. That's 10% of the total target count and if I can make that on the first day, it'll be super good.
I started to get tired when I was still 300 words or so from 5000. Luckily, I got some words of encouragement from a friend and was able to push it over the 5K line before midnight, though it was a question of 10 minutes or something. Anyway, I did it!
I've also been revising Liberté's creative writing texts, so a lot of literary interaction today. I'm tired and my neck hurts. Will have to do yoga and stretching tomorrow. But I'm so happy!!!
NaNoWriMo 2015 has started out great!!!!
