In the beginning...

Well, it's easy to ask myself at this point exactly what I think I am doing.
You see, I'm supposed to be working on my NaNoWriMo novel. I am very much behind, and with only three more days to work, I really need to accomplish my five thousand word goal for today.
Yes, five thousand words is a lot. That is why I'm here, very obviously not working on my novel. It feels like I'm digging a hole in which to bury my novel, but at the same time I keep hitting my foot instead of the ground with the blade. But I am determined to finish this. This is a real book, with a real premise and other things that novels frequently have. It is not a random collection of story beginnings that my past NaNoWriMo attempts have been. And after I finish writing I can go back and throw half of it away in the editing process while I study for my finals.
Okay. Back to the novel writing. Right now. Really. Only 3700 more words to go for today.
Okay, I just decided that this is the designated "I can't focus on my writing so maybe it will help if I blow off some steam by blogging about my frustrations" blog. Will it help? Maybe. If I can remember to come back. Now I will really go back to the serious writing.
