NaNoWriMo: Week Two

So.

The second week of NaNoWriMo is almost over. Well, for me it is, because I take the weekends off. :) Which I kinda need because my brain feels like mush.

Seriously, I'm so caught up in the story that I haven't been able to read ALL WEEK. I know. It's tragic! You all know how much I love to read. But I just can't concentrate because all the puzzle pieces of my story are starting to come together. Some still don't fit, and new pieces keep popping up. But man, I'm enjoying the hell out of this creepy tale.

Here's how this week looked:

• Monday: 23,524
• Tuesday: 28,316
• Wednesday: 35,565
• Thursday: 40,824
• Friday: 47,056

As you can see, I'm very close to reaching the NaNoWriMo 50,000-word target. If all goes well, that could happen on Monday. But that's not going to be the end of the story, so I'll keep writing until it's done...

This week has been a bit hard on the world, especially America. I'm still shocked about what happened. That election result totally sucks. I can't wrap my mind around that orange nightmare becoming the president of anything. It still makes me sick.

I wish there wasn't so much hatred in the world. If people were less selfish and greedy, and instead had more empathy and respect, we wouldn't be in this awful spot. :/

And on that note, I hope you all have an awesome weekend!
