My region had a kick-off last night at the local 24-hour coffee shop. But I didn't make it, I just fade too fast after 11pm.

But I did kick things off on the write foot this morning. (get it?) I have a few thousand in the can already.

Why do they pick November which is like the crazy busiest month (towards the end)? Why not Jan. or Mar. or something?

I dunno. But the same groups does run a screen writing contest in the spring. It takes place in April.

HSM--originally, NaNo was held in July. It was moved to November in order to take advantage of the dreary weather and built in 4 day weekend (Thanksgiving).

2009. I want 3340 by day's end.

2970. I might do more tonight, but I'm updating my wordcount for now and taking a break.

:banana:


(Hahahaha, I just saw "wordcount" above and had the fleeting thought, "I could split that into two words and it would for more... :lol:)

Whyyyy is the site always down at the beginning of the month? Every year they say it'll be better. They lie. I need to find a different way to procrastinate.

Ya, I did see that they warned that the first few days brings bogged down servers. But they aren't kidding! I can barely get through to the web site, let alone update my word count. Oh well, guess I'll not worry about that for now and just write.

But this is a good reason to donate to the cause. They need to have the fundage to get more servers up and running.

Passed the 4,000 word mark this afternoon. I think some of you either have more time, or are faster at writing than I am. Good thing that I turned off the auto spell-check, and I am not allowing myself to give in to the urge that I have to revise as I write.
