Don'cha just hate that?

So, this morning I sat down in a frenzy of writing on the bus. I got onto the bus at 6:37 and was dropped of in downtown at 7:09. In that time, I churned out a lot of words. I had started at 5,075 words this morning, and by the time I had gotten to the stop 32 minutes later I was up to 5,908. 26 WPM. Respectable.

I then went to look in my personal wiki for "Where should I be by the time I get to work this morning?" And the number sitting there was 5,909.

Missed it by >< that much.

Anyhoo, here I am 23,402 words into the arc I've set aside for NaNoWriMo and nearly 60,000 words into the, uh, overarc I guess, and now the theme of the series hits me.

Goddess, I am so screwed up as a writer sometimes. You'd think I'd have more of a plan before I start writing.

... Plan? ; )

If you're screwed up as a writer over not having a plan, then I'm frigging comatose. Plan? I have no plot aside from the next situation I want to get into, no concept of the intended voice, and my exposition of my characters often has to be re-read for the physical details to be sorted out and straightened up. :)

I've been writing since I was 10 and I still can't seem to figure out what makes or finishes a story. :p
