It's only taken me a little over three years of Uni to finally manage to write an essay without staying up until god forsaken hours (like dawn...). I was finished only a half hour after my usual bed time last night, and while I don't think it's my best essay ever, this is a good thing since I now have a doctor's appointment and lectures to attend which are being done on a close to normal amount of sleep.

My goal for the weekend is to work on my dissertation, read Going Postal, work on NaNo, read the Angel Sanctuary mangas, and world domination. We'll see how many I actually get done.

See, when I'm actually writing seriously it takes me about an hour to write a page of text regardless of what I'm writing. But the whole point of NaNo is to just get words down, so I'm forcing myself to ignore how much my fingers itch to go back and fix everything, and just write. It's basically a first draft by someone who doesn't write first drafts. Luckily for me, I already have an original fantasy trilogy plotted out in my head, and while it's still changing as I write, it's pretty easy to follow that general plot. As for finding the time, I'm literally leaving the word doc open continuously and I click on it occasionally a write a paragraph or two before going back to what I was doing.
