Day 9 of Nanowrimo
Writing goal: write as much this weekend has humanly possible.
Words so far today: 1,046 words and counting...
End of day: 9,417 words so far...
It's insane how difficult it is to write when you hate your main character. Mine is a cynical bitch that pretty much hates people and has no faith in relationships--friendship or romantic. I don't even know how she got written either! I know I've been going through a re-break of a break up with my ex and my current flame/new best friend is gone for six months. But I didn't think I would be so disgusted by relationships. But we write what we feel and maybe I pulled from my subconscious and heightened it a little to make it work.
It always is hard to write when you feel trapped. What did I do? I asked for help from my fellow writers. I posted in the forums on the Nanowrimo website. I asked for support. And I got it! Do I push through it? Do I give up? Most people said I should kill off the character if she made me so unhappy. Others said that I should keep going. And I did.
And now I'm over a thousand words today.
Not as far as I need to be but it's still going.
