the wastebasket is a writer's best friend.

Day 16 - At around the half-way point, it bears mentioning that most of us wrimos have other obligations beside simply hitting that elusive word count. What else do you have going on in your life (work, school, children, neurotic pets, etc.), and just how much are you shafting it to win NaNo?

Friends. Boyfriend. Cat. Job. I don’t really ignore them. I just plan my writing around them. I don’t give up on everything completely. I can be pretty organized when I want too. I write late at night mostly when I’m home alone and if I know I’m going to be gone for a day or two I just write twice as much before I leave. No biggie.
