lol. Jeez, I'm getting excited for the next chapter.

Eh, it probably won't make it until chapter three or four, at least. I have to get them back in school, first. (Chapter two is them enjoying the end of summer.)

How's it lookin'?

Chapter two is done, and I'm starting chapter three.

But I can't take the time to post it until I hit my goal for today: 10002 total words (I'm at 9515 and it's four PM, and I have reading to do before class at seven).

So tonight?

Maybe; depends on how much of my readings I get done before class and how much I get to type before class. ^^;; It may technically be tomorrow (here) before you see it.

Oooh, I hope you reach today's goal in time.

Haha, thanks. I'll try - I only need another 500 words, so two more words wars with my friends will probably do it. XD

Word wars?

We set a time limit - say, five minutes - and see who can write the most words in that time. ^^ We also compare typos once we're done. XD

Wow, great method of quickening the pace. Makes things less monotonous and laborious and more fun.

Very much so. :D My entire wordcount yesterday and most of it today has been accomplished through word wars.

Some of the time that you don't make the 50K, what was the problem?

The one year so far I didn't make 50K (2004) was because I had to drop it for school obligations. I just didn't have the time at all to do it. I think if I'd had better time management (like I sorta do now), then I could maybe have handled it, but I just didn't have the maturity and the discipline to balance work, school, and NaNo when I was just barely eighteen.

So generally, it hasn't been much of a problem for you to reach it?

The other years I've always been near the deadline (sometimes an hour away, sometimes a few more), but I've always made it except for 2004.

This year seems to be going better than the others. Maybe I'll even finish a day or so ahead of time! XD /wishful thinking

Wooo! Good luck on that.

By the way, that photo on your NaNo page is great.

^___^

Thanks! It's actually from 2004. XDD I was wearing my friend Taeko's yukata (she brought it with her in case she made friends who wanted to try it on XD), though the original image was lost a couple months after I moved back home when my harddrive totally crashed - nothing was able to be saved. :(

I thought so, you looked a little younger.

Aw, man, it was such a great photo too.

Yep, that's me about a month and a half after I turned eighteen. ^^

Yeah, I was really upset when it got lost.
