#2 am writing updates

Day Three
Word Count: 3576
(147 written)

I woke up at 2pm, a boy called me pretty, I went to a concert, and I didn’t get home until after midnight. It wasn’t a good writing day.

Line:

“Keep your chin up. And look me in the eye.”

He did as he was told. He uncurled his wings slightly, trying to sit tall like they were and look serious like they did.

Day Four
Word Count: 6700
(3124 written)

Me? Writing half my word count in a single day? (I know, right? It’s hard to believe.) It only took me THE ENTIRE DAY. No joke. I was forcing out words from the hour I woke up to midnight. 

Line:

Selene stepped forward and gave him a hug. “You better come home.”

Surprised, Augustus nodded. “I’m planning on it,” he said. “But you don’t have to worry about me. It’s not like I’m leaving right this second.”

Day Five
Word Count: 7789
(1089 written) 

This one makes me kind of mad because I reached par (~8335 words), but only after midnight. It is pretty good, though, considering I had school, took two tests, went to Chipotle with friends, went to hockey, and had multiple simultaneous heart attacks involving aforementioned boy. 

Line:

Selene’s mouth opened, then closed. When it opened again, the words came out slowly. “They’re drafting girls now, too. As nurses.”

“At what age?” Melissa asked.

“It says here…eighteen.” Her voice cracked as she said it.

Total as of now: 8677
(Wow, that means I’ve written 888 words today. And it’s only 2 am!)
