It's November 1 - do you know where YOUR plot is?

A quick report from the first day of my very first NaNoWriMo ever.

Cups of coffee drunk: 5

Actual meals eaten: 1 (bacon and toast counts as breakfast, right?)

Number of times I've gotten discouraged at my lack of writing skill: 3

Number of procrastinating visits to the NaNo forums: 6

Amount of candy I bought on post-Halloween sale for the specific purpose of eating during NaNo: I plead the Fifth.

And most importantly....

Words written: 4,261

All in all, not a bad first day. Tomorrow is my first official write-in. Whee! Now, to attempt to get to sleep with caffeine still coursing through my bloodstream, heh.

In order to reach 50,000 words in the month of November, you need to write an average of 1,667 words a day.

NaNoWriMo is actually a pretty amazing thing. But hey, to each his/her own.

LOL, I'll just think about my story on the drive down (large parts of my plot are still vague to nonexistent). But I will bring my laptop and try to write in the morning/at random times during the weekend. (Can't wait!)
