NaNoWriMo, Day 8

So my average writing day has gone kind of like this:
  1. Wake up at 9 AM (8 AM since Daylight Saving Time)
  2. Promise self to write before nine PM
  3. Get distracted by ultimately pointless yet time-consuming thing *cough cough Creatures Adventures/Docking Station cough cough*
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until 9 PM.
  5. Remember you have dishes to wash.
  6. Wash dishes.
  7. It is now 10 PM.
  8. Find other distraction.
  9. It is now 11 PM.
  10. Write like a madman, updating the word count every 10 words or so.
  11. It is now 11:59 PM. You're 30 words away from the daily 1,000.
  12. Panic and say you wrote 30 words anyway.
  13. It is now midnight. 
  14. Write an additional 100 or so words. Submit.
  15. You're still stuck at 200 words behind what you should have by now.
  16. Mentally mourn the fact that you're still going to finish on December 5 at this rate.
  17. Promise self to write before 9 AM tomorrow. Seriously. Write, woman.
  18. Repeat.
