NaNoWriMo - Day 5

So I missed a day yesterday. Not a surprise given that I knew I would be working on fixing up the bathroom all day, but a disappointment nonetheless. I hate to see my momentum, such as it is, interupted. But despite my best attempts to deny & ignore, life goes on.

The good news is that I have carved through a substantial portion of my deficit. As of midnight (technically Day 6 now, sue me), I stand at 6188 words, an increase of about 2500 words from when the day started (or when day 3 ended…). If my math is right, I should be at about 8300 words at this point, so I still have some ground to make up.

It’s a slog, that’s for sure, but I am enjoying it so far, and look forward to seeing where the story will take me next. Which, when it is all said and done, is THE important thing (and truly the only thing). But I enjoy the contest against myself, and find that even when I want to be lazy and have plenty of excuses for that behavior, I am firing up the laptop, and not just for email. :)
