One way you know you might be writing too much…
So it’s day 8 and I’m somewhere in the 11k region (I’ll update the counter later today). I’ve been writing every minute I’ve had free time, and even when I technically haven’t (boring classes are a good time to get a few notes jotted down in one’s notebook). Of course this was in the middle of all the other stuff I had to do — this week was yet another brutal one, I’m praying next week will be better — and I’m pretty sure my brain is becoming unhinged. Three nights I’ve gone to sleep after 2am!
So is it surprising that when I got to class this morning and was signing in (I hate attendance — especially in college). Suddenly, I realized that I hadn’t written down my name, I’d written down my character’s name! I laughed at myself (and got a few looks because of it) and quickly crossed the name out and wrote my own. So, basically, I’ve got NANOWRIMO on the subconscious and the conscious.
