I don't know if it's because I'm working to a dealine like NaNoWriMo or if it's because this is something new for me but I seem to be on a roll as far as my wordcount is concerned. The story is coming along nicely too but I'm still impressed by how much I've been able to write in the past 3 days, I haven't even been able to write this much during NaNo before.
Target for Jan 3rd: 7,000
Target Total: 20,000
Total for Jan 3rd so far: 4,576
Total so far: 16,281
Still got loads of time left today, it's only 2:13pm after all, so I think I'll be able to make my quota if not go way over it. I think I'm going to set myself some new targets for today.
Target for Jan 3rd: 10,000
Target Total: 23,000
Yeah, that sounds more reasonable a challenge for me now. Back to writing!

Day 3: It's Still Too Early.
It's now 3am and I'm having trouble sleeping. Good news is I've written 2,356 words today already :D
Bad news is I'm now extremely tired and can't sleep.
I'm going to try and get some sleep now and then hopefully when I wake up I'll be able to write some more.
Targets for Jan 3rd:
Wordcount for day - 7,000
Wordcount total - 20,000
I think that's achievable, my current stats are:
Wordcount for day - 2,356
Wordcount total - 14,061
Hopefully, I'll sleep now.

Day 3: It's Too Early.
It's 12:30am, I'm tired and I want to go to sleep but I have a few things I want to say first.
1. It snowed again. Really heavy snow too. I thought we were getting rid of it, I was actually able to see the grass again, but no. Stupid snow ¬¬
2. I upped my wordcount to 4,805 before heading out the door at 7pm (I only got back at 11:40pm so I didn't have time to write anymore.) This makes my current wordcount total 11,705 which I'm proud of.
When I get up tomorrow I'm going to sit down and write and I'm not going to do anything until I've typed up my 3,000 daily word goal. By the end of today I'll have a total wordcount of at least 15,000 words...hopefully.
Anyway, goodnight all.

Day 2: Pushing On
Alright, I'm feeling slightly better and I've managed to write something too. I've lowered my daily target from 5,000 to 3,000 words because it seems more attainable for me. Having said that it's only 5:30pm and I'm sitting on 3,838 words just now, bringing my total wordcount up to 10,738 words. I'm going to keep writing for another hour I think and then I'll have to stop because I'm going out at 7pm. Not sure what time I'll be getting back but if it's not too late then I'll maybe write for another hour before heading to bed.
Target Wordcount for Day: 6,900 (same as yesterday's total wordcount)
Target Total Wordcount : 13,800
Don't know whether I'll reach those numbers but if I do that'll be amazing considering my original wordcount goal for each day was 1,613 for January. So with my current wordcount I'm actually about 4 days ahead of schedule :D

Day 2: Sick :(
I got very little sleep last night. I was awake til around 4am with really bad nausea, I think I ate too much yesterday. I did get some sleep but when I woke up I felt just as tired...I still feel just as tired actually. I've done absolutely no writing whatsoever today so far and since I'm still feeling a little sick I'm not sure whether I have the concentration to do any writing at all today. I'm supposed to be going out tonight and I'm not sure whether I'll be going to that either.
Today's a bad day already :(

Day 1: What A Day!
I've spent most of the day writing, taking a few breaks to spend time with my family and add information to my research wall. I need to write 1,667 words each day but was aiming for 5,000 and today I managed to write 6,900 words.
I'm hoping I can keep the momentum going and write the same amount tomorrow as well and keep my big wordcounts going for the rest of the year.
Total Wordcount: 6,900
Wordcount Today: 6,900
Last Sentence Written:
'Ryan continued to get annoyed.'

Day 1: Happy New Year
I stayed up until 3AM this morning writing purely because I couldn't sleep for the amount of fireworks going off in my area. They were pretty to look at though. :)
I kept writing up until ten to three and then gave up. I've now got a solid 4,681 words to kick off my year of writing. I'm not stopping at that either. My family will be sitting down for a lovely meal together (I'm such a fussy eater that instead of having the traditional chicken/turkey/beef/whatever I'm getting a cheeseburger :D) in about an hour or so and then I'll stick around and chat with my gran for a bit afterwords and then it'll be straight back up the stairs to park my butt in a chair, turn on House M.D Season 4 (I like a little background noise when writing) and start pounding the crap out of my keyboard so I can get as much of the beginning of the story out as I can today. My original plan was to have 3,000 words by the end of today, I've already passed that so my new target is 7,500.
Anyway, Happy New Year everyone. This is usually the time that people will give their New Year resolutions. I only have one: Get Fit. Seriously, I'm a healthy weight and I'm not fat or anything but I get out of breath climbing two flights of stairs because of the amount of junk food that I eat. I very rarely exercise so that's what my resolution is for the year, to exercise everyday and get in shape. :)
Off to eat my junk food New Year meal :P
