Overchallenged!

New media are really helpful in writing. I love to write on the laptop, google certain subjects, love to see my words scale grow (NaNoWriMo) , the more I write- the higher the words scale. The scale and writing buddies are the motivational part of WriMo.
But new technilogies can hit the wall-experienced yesterday and today.
I cannot update my wordscore--" Too many connections" at the same moment are the reason.
......frustrating, not being able to see the progress in my writing on the scale.
This year, the NaNoWriMo site is soooo slowly.
But to see it in a positive way- sooooooooo many users are interested in writing a novel.
Hope , they can solve the technical problems soon. Otherwise it will be difficult to motivate myself to write a lot.
Have a good one!

For all of you, who need to move the body..

I love writing- and dancing , too.
The last 2 days I´ve written a lot, therefore I didn´t go out (just for lunch and a quick walk). So I realize that I need to move my body.
Let´s dance!

Music-corner:
Mamma Mia Dancing Queen Pier Dance.

Success on the one hand- frustration on the other one

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!
Just have to write about my anger- maybe I feel better than.

You know about my 2 writing projects - the crazy fun approach of NaNoWriMo (where I want to write a novel-draft within 30 days) and my course-assignment.

First I´ve thought that I wouldn´t be able to write the novel besides my daily work (ok, I´m still on holidays here, it´s my last day and tomorrow I´ll face reality;)
The fact is, that at the moment (during holidays- please note) I have no problems with my WriMo- project. Success here, failure there.

Well, that brings me to my course writing.I ´m having the same troubles as I had once before -- I  find fitting articles - but nearly all of them must be paid for or I have to be registered as a member of a certain website!!!!!!! Internet is great but I don´t want to pay for articles where I can read just an excerpt. I pay for books, ok.
Is everything commercial out there?

Horrible, but I´ve already ordered the next book, hope it won´t be delivered again to Australia- and I won´t get it with a 3 weeks delay... that´s the frustrating part of my writing at the moment, the lack of access to literature.
Well, however, the good thing is, that my other project motivates me to write each day, so I am not that frustrated. I know (most of the time;-), that I´ll do it anyway , but it could be a lot easier...

So, enough self-pity for today! Now I feel ready to search for more lit;)

Time to go back to my writing- for both projects.
Enjoy your day, rock and write!

I rocked it today!

First day of WriMo is a holiday here, where these long plaited buns are given to friends. The free day is the reason, why I could write a bit more than expected. I won´t be too negative, but I´ll celebrate this day by eating a piece of the bun (no, not just 1). I´m sure , during the week besides the job and all the other stuff I have to do, I´m not able to write the expected word account. But today I could do it! Yes!!
Now after a 7 hours writing marathon , I will stop for today. (No, I haven´t used all time writing my novel:) I also wrote some pages for my course:)  I don´t want to praise myself but today I´ve done a good job so I´m proud of my achievements.

So, writers, let´s rock and write!! Have a good one!
