I had good times, I had bad times and then I started feeling desperate because I was kind of stuck (though I actually wasn’t, it was more like an illusion). And then I hit 75 pages and decided that damn right I’m going to do this.

Yesterday evening, at 78 pages I told Miccoh that I was going to hit 80 during the evening and then write ten pages on both weekend days. Today I just sat down and wrote what is currently 12 pages and now I’m happily standing at 94 pages. That is almost 95 which is only five pages away from winning (ooh, mathematics…) and then the sun will shine and all my problems will be gone forever.

Now I’m going to bake a cake (it’s my dad’s birthday tomorrow but the real reason is of course Screnzy :D ) and then watch some comedy and maybe write, maybe not. I’ve got tomorrow and the rest of the month, I’m not in a hurry anymore.

Day 13

I’ve almost written a whole episode, about 44 pages! This pilot episode covers one day at a crazy school, and I totally suck at making believable* original characters, but I think in my case that isn’t the most important thing. The good news is I feel somehow more able to write dialogue than ever. I don’t know if it’s funny or anything, but at least there might be a bit more dialogue than descriptive passages.

I had an excellent day yesterday; my page count increased with 10 pages. I was behind schedule, now I’m tightly on it. I think I’ll have to write a couple more pages today because I’ve got my hands full of not only maths but physics, chemistry, English, Swedish and piano as well on the normal weekdays. Sometimes I’d have skipped chemistry and English completely, but we have evil wordtests in English and actually things to calculate in chemistry. Something new for a change. And I do love the groups I’m studying in ^^

So… 44 pages. That’s a bit over 7,000 words now. I’m gonna be so fine :D But not if I give in to the urge to watch some more House… Although I’m going to do that anyway…

*after watching Green Wing** over and over and over again, I’ll believe anything.

** I’m actually not payed for advertising GW everywhere and all the time. Should be though :P

Day, whatsit, eight

Yay, my exams are almost over! I had the second maths test today and it seemed easy enough. Now I have a bit more time for Screnzy (currently I’ve written 13 pages – this is going to be an epic fail if I don’t pull myself together). But I feel so stupid! I’m a fourth-time-participant if you count NaNoWriMos, so I should know, but it wasn’t until yesterday that I realised that hey, I could use some dares! It’s not like I haven’t ever used dares before, I had just forgotten about them completely! And I’m writing an absurd comedy, so dares would fit in perfectly. That was a real headdesk-moment yesterday.

And now I’m going to open my script document, be very brave and write something that felt impossible on Sunday. I’m not going to fail!

I have now officially written four pages of my script for a comedy that seems to me quite boring and not funny at all. I think I’ve learned something about tabs in OpenOffice but my writing style is still leaning towards description too heavily. I recall complaining something about being unable to write dialogue during NaNoWriMo. Well, as we all know, scripts are quite a lot about dialogue… But at least I’ve formatted in a nice way, so I don’t have to write so much.

But four pages in one day… that’s ahead of schedule. Maybe, just maybe, I might actually survive :)
