Well, I've written a lot more today.
And yes, mother, of COURSE I'm (not) doing my AP reading.
But, in other news, NaNo hasn't got me as panicked as it did before. Mostly, I think, because I caught up. Sort of.
Anyway, I'm officially declaring my progress with NaNoWriMo. YAY!
Also, that I'm probably going to be participating in NaNoFiMo (yes, it actually exists): National Novel Finishing Month. It's during December. And I'll be participating. Because I can. Also because I'll probably need to. Because, let's face it, even if I DO manage to hand-write 240 Composition Book Pages, that's still only 96 typed pages. And, in my head, even with the extra pages created by page breaks for chapters, doing 96 pages condensed isn't a novel. It's a... non-novel.
It's what John Steinbeck did when he was too braindead after sitting down and writing "Grapes of Wrath" - he decided to do NaNoWriMo and wound up with "Of Mice and Men." Except for the fact that he did "Of Mice and Men" first. And that NaNoWriMo wasn't around in 1937-9.
It wasn't around until 1999.
So... my point is no longer valid.
I'm going to go do AP now.

Day 14: May I panic now?
Pages Today: 1.25
Pages Until Completion of Today's Quota: 9
Current Page: 103
Page To End On: 112
Location in Story: Have their new heading and are getting background of the people/ climate in the area they're going to next and discussing how they're going to get there without going bankrupt.
My question is: Can I panic now?
Why, you ask?
Today is Sunday. I probably have around four hours of homework to do today, because AP is annoying and notes take forever. And, although I was able to get some writing done last night, last weekend I didn't start Sunday TEN PAGES SHORT with four hours of homework in addition. And so now I'm panicking. And I hate panic. AAHH! However, there'll be some hope if I get off RIGHT NOW and start doing either homework or writing or something. I'm just glad I don't have to read the entire AP chapter tonight, because then by the end of today I'd be a total of 17 pages behind because I'd have no time to write whatsoever after that. Which would be even MORE annoying.
And I'm going and being productive now. Goodbye.
