I didn't update yesterday, not because I didn't write, but because my eyes were literally burning and I just saved and slept.
This novel is most probably the WORST thing I have ever written in my entire life. There is way too much telling. The characters are wandering around aimlessly, I have new characters bursting in in very strange places and ways. But it is ridiculously fun to write. Will anything come out of it? Maybe, maybe not. As they're rambling I'm getting to know their stories and their personalities and after November is over, maybe next month, maybe next year, maybe a couple of years from now, I really think I'll come back and see if I can make something decent out of it. For now I'm just enjoying the flow of consciousness thing that's happening and the delight of actually being writing again.
Quick recap:
Words today: 1973
Words total: 19159

Words behind: 2512
Really not as bad as it should be considering everything else I have going on. Tomorrow is another day, as they say! Yeah NaNo!

NaNo is one of those experiences whose outcome you can't force. The idea is to open the floodgates and be swept away by whatever gushes forth and it sounds like you're enjoying the ride! Have a blast and best of luck in the next two weeks!
Keep going! And thank you for sharing your NaNo journey with us!
