Kick Off!

So, it's currently 7:45am Nov 1st and therefore time to blog before the rest of the house wakes up!

After I got home from work yesterday at 6pm, instead of planning and creating a plot, I just decided I'm going to "wing-it" plot-wise, and instead spent four hours on the NaNoWriMo Forums.

After deciding to make my novel up as I go along, the next question (one asked a few times on the forums) was "Do I stay up until midnight to start writing, or just get up tomorrow and start writing at 9:30 as my elaborate schedule commands?

I really wanted to stay up and start at midnight, write for about an hour and then go to sleep, just because then it would feel like having two chances at writing on November 1st. But doing that would make me very sleepy come 7:00am when, according to my new daily schedule, I would need to wake up and get up to BLOG. In turn, it would affect my whole schedule and I would have failed at sticking to my schedule (trust me, not the first time - I NEVER stick to schedules!) before I even gave it a chance!

So instead, I slept. Not very well, and I'm exhausted anyway, but I slept. I'm kind of refreshed and have to fit in an hour of studying the Cold War before I am even allowed to start my novel.

Good luck to all the other WriMo's and BloMo's out there counting down til midnight!

P.S If you need help with pretty much anything in your novel head here.
