Ethan & Claire is now the new 3-Day Novel...

I switched projects for 3-Day Novel. Now doing a vampire romance. I had a more complete story -- even if there's still plot holes -- outlined compared to Jack & Jill.

3-Day kicked off at midnight, and I wanted to do a session to see if I wanted to continue or just write off the $38 entry fee... and I'm still not sure. I want to write clean so bad, and I feel like I already need to start puking out words. Never mind the fact I have zero things plotted on the bad guy.

I wish I never registered for 3-Day -- AND I WAS SOBER TOO! I came off my Camp NaNo high, and I was like, "I can totally do 3-Day! I did it before!"

And now I'm like.... this sucks.

Ethan & Claire: 3-Day Novel progress...

I know I'm older and I can't do the things I used to do in my 30's... but COME ON. For 3-Day Novel Contest 2007, I was powered by appletinis, pizza, pumpkin lattes, and pumpkin muffins. I never passed out; I got by with minimal sleep.

So far for 3-Day Novel Contest 2020? I wrote for two hours last night; passed out at 2 a.m. because I was writing with beer; woke up at 3:30 and ate my drunk food; went to bed and woke up at like noon. This sucks. There's some other entrant who's already up to 5K words, and I'm just pludging along. THIS SUCKS.

On a positive note: I did write 659 words sober this session -- and it was allllll dialogue from my cult leader bad guy person.
