You can’t seem to fall apart without an earthquake

So, I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year! Shoot me now.

I started writing in a notebook as soon as I woke up this morning. In 3-4ish hours (there were multiple breaks <.<) I wrote over 4000 words. Not bad, all things considered. I'm trying for 75-100k this year, so that puts me right on track.

Still need to do more outlining, or else I will stall in the middle of week two and fail fail fail. I'm not sure whether or not to count my plotting in my general wordcount because that kind of feels like cheating to me, but I suspect I will change my mind once I start lagging behind my daily goals. XD

But as of right now I'm on a roll with my beta of Scrivener and my notebooks and my snacks and my virtual hot chocolate (♥ levels !). I spent a good chunk of October planning this thing (hence my absence, sigh), so hopefully everything will go mostly smooth on the writing front.

Anyone else doing Nano this year? Come, join me in my insanity. :D :D :D

I wish there was someone out there who shared my brain. Then I could say to that person, "Dear Brain-sharing friend, what happens after this plot point?" And that person would say, "Oh, silly! Clearly this is what must happen."

And then that person would tell me exactly what I need to know and I would no longer want to rip my story out of my computer and stomp on it until it decides to be more cooperative.

So, how was your day?
