A real day as a real writer
7:30--wake up
7:35--hit snooze
8:00--get up for real
8:02--check email and other internet things
8:04--watch FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS from Friday on Tivo
8:50--shower and dress
9:30--library opens
9:35--arrive at library and get to work
11:45--check word count, think "wow! that was kinda easy"
12:01--come home and make soup
12:45--lie down on couch to digest
2:30--get up off couch
2:40--write more (Wow! That was easy, too!)
6:30--realize that my work day is over. Like seriously. I don't have to write any more today.
6:35--ask myself why I didn't do this a loooooong time ago.

I know I'm going to sound stupid, but I have an account on NanoWrimo, but, I have no idea how to get to where you write the actual novel so that the word count, counts words. What do I click?
woot!
go ally!!
i'm really happy for you that you get to do what you love most of the day! =D
you're getting closer to the 50,000 words!! we're rooting for you!!

Briana
I need a plot...HELP!!!! antbody got any ideas???????? PLEASE!!!!!
Yay!
That sounds like an awesome life. :D
For the person with the question about NaNo, do you mean the word count for the actually site/profile, or your word document where your story is located?
If it's for the profile on the site:
-Log in
-Go to 'Edit Profile' at the top
-Go to 'Author Info' (it's right next to 'Account settings)
-Scroll down to the very bottom and enter your word count into the space. They haven't set up the thing where you enter in all of the words.
If you mean the word document, go to the very top, with all of the menus, and usually there's a menu called 'tools'. Click on that, and you can see your word count.
I hope that helps. :)
Anyway, keep it up, Ally!
You rock :)
I have a NaNoWrimo account too, but their little word count thingy doesn't have percents! I want that. I have 9,078 words so far, but still feel like I don't have a solid plot line or anything. It needs soooooooooooooooooo much editing, it isn't even funny.
rosabeth- where are you? we have to have our "discussion" on "your obsession" soon. I think you know what I mean...
Ahh...being able to write all day long sounds so nice right now...I'm on a roll with my NaNoWriMo. I'm envious. ;)
Bridgi, what I do to figure out the percentages is the old-fashioned way (a caluculator). But I wish they had a percentage marker too.
(crying) why couldn't I have a day like that!!!!
LUCKY!!! :)
keep on writting
Woohoo! Go ally! I can't wait to read it.
Anonymous- It's rosabeth. And my obsession :)
EDWARD!!!
well rosabeth, this is skippy and really thin that we should both just agree that Jacob is better, don't deny it, and don't even try to scoff at me. You so know that I am right. And if you want to argue, please do not just walk the 10 feet of space over to my desk, you should write back. And just for your sake:
JACOB RULES OVER EDWARD!!!
I know you know that that is a thing that you know.
muahahahahahahahaha
love skippy!
Skippy- Edward is better. You know it, I know it, so stop kidding yourslef. And I am not going to go the ten feet to your desk, I can glare at you from here *glares at skippy* Edward for life and u know it!
EDWARD EDWARD EDWARD EDWARD
Love Rosabeth!
well rosabeth, edvardo isn't for life because he is DEAD, and stop glaring at me, it is kind of creepy!
-love skippy
rosabeth, where'd ya go?

-carrie
I'm right here skippy! And edward rules!
ha! you wish edward ruled! JACOB ALL THE WAY! and guess what, i am not happy at you now, give me back my cookie!
I can't give you back your cookie, I already ate it. Edward for life!Click on my name, hehe.
oh, you owe me a cookie then, a giant chocolate chip one!!!
Rosabeth and Skippy you need to come up with a nickname for me. (this is Victoria aka Tori) Goodness you guys are dorks of course Edward is better and always in my dreams but Jacob is sweet and warm. I still say Edward would win and Jacob is way way close in second. I just have to read the last book and then maybe I will make up my mind. BUT. I love them both. Edward is just a little higher. I am like Bella very clumsy and odd. Haha I get Edward to protect me yeah.
well mashuganna, (aka tori)
that is your new nick-name.
Okay I like that name. I can't stop thinking about Twilight. I love that book. Oh my I just read one of the greatest books. It is called Impulse. It is so cute, but it is kind of bad (as in perverted). I love it though because it is sweet. Oh I will read those books soon Rosabeth. I am going to the movies tonight, what are you chickadees doing (Rosabetha and Skippy). You are awsome you two.
Mashugana! Woohoo! Edward is better and you know it! Don't go to the dark side with Kayla. Edward for life. I thought you already read Eclipse (unless by last book you mean Breaking Dawn). Bella is going to end up with Edward, she already decided and she is not going back on her word. Skippy, see you tonight at your you-know-what party. lol
it is skippy, rosabeth i need to talk to you on monday...
aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............. i am freaking out, and i can't even tell anyone why, and i am freaking out not in a good way... i am really in way over my head, and i just really want to scream my head off and then kill someone, which of course i won't do. but i am FREAKING OUT!!
wow... tough life. how do you survive???
i've decided. i'm going to be a writer too.
