Words today are hard and mostly because I had a full day at my retail job that involved a lot of actual heavy lifting and to top it off it’s a little warm. I love the warmth, I dislike having to work while it’s warm in a full uniform. Give me shorts and muscle tanks any day and I’ll be a happy lady. I used to be so good at wording when I was exhausted, in fact, my peak hours of writing used to be after Midnight and I’d do my best essays and what not when I was not sleeping. I prided myself on being a night owl…that was…

Today I made a come back, after not writing in my NaNo for four days it was glorious to have my fingers gliding over the keys once again. I can’t tell you how relieving it actually is to feel the flutter of my fingers hitting the keys and while not a lot of my words were spelled right I did manage to get in a solid writing session between folding clothes, attempting to go to the gym, washing sheets and getting to an appointment, not to mention having my cousin and his lovely girlfriend in town. I went out for dinner and it was such a wonderful night. It makes…

Today I’ve done the look over with my essay and wrote up the hardest part: The Dreaded Reference List. Literature uses the MLA system and I’m so used to the Harvard system so I had to do a few double takes with it. But freedom came and I’m done with uni for the semester which also means I can continue on with my NaNoWriMo journey and these entries can be much more fun. I normally would have jumped straight back into writing but it’s been pretty intense with this essay of late and all I wanted to do was binge on some TV shows, I’d started Season 5 of Arrow…

I had a full day at work today and got up early to actually do my essay. I managed to get out the bulk of my writing before work and even took my laptop with me to work so that I could try and get something done, I tried to get some work done during my break, but it was too busy. I did get home and managed to finish my essay and I was done for the night! I rewarded myself by spending the night hanging out with my boyfriend and it was actually nice to not have the stress of this essay in the back of my mind.…

No writing today, I was focusing on my essay and getting somewhere, I’m pretty sure the next few days there are going to be a lot of short updates where I haven’t done much writing but my essay. Not even sorry, but I wanted to be done with this by now. It’s tough and I’m pretty much doubting everything I’m writing because essays are hard for me to do. A short and sweet update that’s all I’ve got today. Sometimes these might be big, sometimes these might be short but my whole idea behind this is to show just how fickle my writing can be and just how much I…

Today I’ve done no writing in my NaNo. Still a little brain dead, but I did a little in my essay, not much and not anything really I could talk about, but I did take time to just feel into how I was feeling and what I was feeling. I also had my boyfriend come over and we watched movies. Probably something I needed more than actually writing because my brain was not there at all. It was also my first day back at work in a week and I have to say it was a bit of a struggle. I needed the break for my sanity and my creativity…

Today was a tough day, I had to do more of my uni work but really I procrastinated and wrote in my nano story. I didn’t get very much farther than yesterday and because I was trying to actually get my essay done, but I actually gave up on functioning at like 2 pm and retreated to my bed for the rest of the afternoon. My cycle started and my brain just fritzed so I just watched movies but I did manage to do some writing. I did a lovely 5 minutes sprint with an awesome insta-friend, so that helped. This is also a dilemma when I slow down, the…

Today…it was the day to actually start on my essay and while I have the plan for it I managed to get like 200 words done on it and I found a few sources to use…but I actually have to go through and read those…go figure. But I managed to get up and just go to the shops, because sometimes I need to get myself out of the actual house and while I had no kitten to cuddle (well I have my cat, but he resists love toooo much!) I just needed to get out and really I wanted to get some salt lamps and some food. I think I…
