Writer's Block and Twitter

Okay, so I don't know if I've said this before, but I'm so addicted to Twitter right now. It's so much fun to write little microblogs and update really frequently! Especially since I have a good focus right now, which is Screnzy.

Speaking of Screnzy, I have 71 pages right now. That's a little bit ahead of where I'm supposed to be (if you go with the 3.3333 pages a day thing, which is the closest you can get to an equivalent to NaNo's 1667 words, I'm about 4.3333 pages ahead of where I should be today). However, I used to be something like 10+ pages ahead, and was going at a wonderfully amazing 4 or 5 pages a day. And that's added on to the 20 - 30 pages I wrote during the first day or two.

Now it seems like even a page is hard to write. In the past week, not including today, I wrote on two days. I only managed to get 5 pages a day on each of those two days because I just spewed pointless dialogue...today's page was actually the first I've written in awhile that went towards moving the story along.

I'm afraid I've hit the slump/Writer's Block of Screnzy. :/ I really want to finish, but now the 29 remaining pages seem very daunting. Even if I don't finish the story (which I want to do), I want to hit 100 pages so I can be a Screnzy winner! But wow...29 pages seems incredibly daunting.

Also, I'm doing poorly in school compared to first semester, where I wasn't doing so wonderfully to begin with. My grades in my three worst classes (history, math, and physics) are completely jumbled around (math is my best grade even though it at least used to be my worst subject...). I'm not prepared for tomorrow at all! I totally burnt out during February or March, and Spring Break didn't let me refresh since I was doing more school-related things during it. I'm scared for my grades, and all I want to do is go back to writing my script.

Sigh.
