Gales of November
The storm last night was incredible. It knocked our power out just a few minutes after I made my NaNo post, and the power stayed out until about 7:30 this morning. In fact the winds were so strong that Mom insisted I stay downstairs until the worst was over. This …
NaNo Day 4
Total WC: 4119 Today’s: 1341 4,119 / 85,000 (4.8%) This scene was stubborn. What happened was…unexpected. Thanks to slightlyjillian for encouragement and keeping me awake. Oh, yeah, and I used the Dictionary.com word of the day in this scene. Go me.

NaNo Day 1
430 / 85,000 (0.5%) WC: 430 LOL – what a start, eh? But since it was just last night that the plot bunny bit, I spent much of my writing time today plotting and such. Tomorrow I expect a prodigious word count. *grins*
