State of Stomping Out Sparks/Nano 08.
Total time spent writing: 8:30-12; 6:30-8:30 this morning.
Total wordcount: 35,000 words exactly! 15,000 more to go before 10pm (and 8 hour shift at work..., this is still going to be crazy tight *__*)
Words I need to write before leaving for work at 12:30: 6-8,000.
Amount of sleep: 5 & 1/2 hours. Took a half hour nap between 8:30 and 9am, and coming off hour long break as soon as I finish writing this
Teh Beverages: 1 2-Liter of Diet Pepsi, 1 liter of water, and a Grape Gatorade G-2.
Teh Fooding: 1 package of peanut butter cups (when I hit 30K last night), half of a digiorno supreme pizza. About half a slice every 2,000 words, in other words.
Favorite passage so far: Tie between when Terrie shifts into goatskin for the first time (the effect is creepier than I had intended XD) and when Terrie and Robin have an argument over Mrs. Priestly's cooking which manages to both make me laugh and have a few plot developments.
edit: busted out the wrist braces at 11:30. Gonna hit 40K in about 20 minutes. *___*

Really surprised writing isn't of suckitude. I'm not writing as fast as I could be, which I'm sure is helping. Though the writing is pretty raw, the creepiness I worked into Terrie's transformation is making me particularly gleeful. And there's an actual plot developing that wasn't there before, so I'm pretty happy :D. Yay novel! If I don't hate you after emergency 10K rush, good chance I'll still love you after the remaining 15K dash today <33. Catch you guys after work! And for anyone interested, the Crazy Playlist of Fast Typing Doom I've been listening to as I write like whoa: )

Current word count: 42,002
Hours remaining: 7:50-11pm. Going to have to work on four hours of sleep, oye!
Amount of sleep since Saturday Morning: 5 & 1/2
Teh Beverages: 1 and 1/2 2-Liters of Diet Pepsi, 1 liter of water, 2 Grape Gatorade G-2s
Fooding: 1 package of peanut butter cups (when I hit 30K last night), 3/4ths of a digiorno supreme pizza, 'a Spinach Artichoke & Chicken Lean Cuisine, 1 boston creme pie yogurt, and 1/2 of a bag of Quaker BBQ rice cakes' (lunch @ work while writing).
Favorite Passage So Far: Robin and Wil teaming up together for mischief, a scene I skipped and loved writing today on my 30m break at work in between stuffing my face.
Total Scenes in novel: 18 (over three arcs)
Number of Wil POVs I forgot to add Sparks: All of them XD
Morale: SUPER HIGH. I AM LIKE WALKING SUGAR BOWL. WEEEEEE.

Will report back when I hit 50K around 11 (unless I start spamming, which could happen because I AM A LITTLE HYPER OMG THIS SONG IS NOT HELPING ANY! Happy birthday to people whose birthdays I've missed during Deathmarch, too! I haven't forgotten you two :P!

Current word count: 51,215 (3rd time I stopped at this number HA)
Hours remaining: am done. no more. sleeeeeeep
Amount of sleep since Saturday Morning: 5 & 1/2
Teh Beverages: 1 and 3/4 2-Liters of Diet Pepsi, 2 liters of water, 2 Grape Gatorade G-2s
Fooding: 1 package of peanut butter cups (when I hit 30K last night), 1 Digiorno Supreme pizza (finished last slice at 10:30 tonight), '1 Spinach Artichoke & Chicken Lean Cuisine, 1 boston creme pie yogurt, 1/2 of a bag of Quaker BBQ rice cakes' (lunch @ work while writing), 2 bags of fun size M&Ms to keep sugar going.
Favorite Passage So Far: The argument about tofu vs magic was kind of funny in a surreal this makes no sense wtf was Kol on kind of way XD
Morale: My brain is so past broken. I was fine until I hit checked word count at 47,870 and then the brain just stopped working. If I didn't have work tomorrow at 4AM, I would have just taken a twenty minute nap and probably gone on making pretty good passages, but that was not in the cards. XD I have to be up at 3AM for work so I'm heading off now and collapsing in exhaustion and NEVER PROCRASTINATING LIKE THIS AGAIN.

Will probably not be CC/Kingdom/LJing tomorrow because I will be crawling into bed after work and sleeping forevers. Hope everyone has an awesome Monday and thank all of you guys for your encouragement, it really kept me going tonight after brain death! <33333
