Cookie Power!

So NaNoWriMo hasn't been going great this year. Attempting to write something original has been a bit tricky, but I felt I had to try. Nothing wrong with fanfic but it would be nice to be actually published one day if remotely possible. Anyway after a false start after realizing writing a bunch of short stories would probably actually be more difficult than writing a whole novel when writing original stuff, I deleted my first couple hundred words and started fresh on Monday. I then had to contend with work, massive cramps, an annoying cold, and my own inability to write anything remotely fast so I arrived today way behind on my word count and hating my horribly written story, but I found the solution. Reverse Chocolate Pecan Cookies! I get to eat one at least every 500 words and it seems to have worked. I wrote over 3500 words today. (And ate five cookies. I know that doesn't add up but I wrote the first 1000 before I bought the cookies)  I'm still far behind but I'm catching up. Unfortunately, this isn't going to work for everyday as it will seriously mess up my blood sugar levels, but I feel like I actually have a chance now. Anyway the way I see it, I've already written more original stuff than I have in years so even if I quit now, I've still accomplished something.
