it's that time again!
You know, I love NaNo. I could participate every year for the rest of my life and never once win, and I would still love NaNo, because no other occasion during the year quite makes a day as bright with possibility as the start of NaNo makes November 1st. I have come to love the day after Halloween as much as, if not more than, the holiday itself. Waiting for midnight is way more exciting than any of the parties, costumes and candy that leads up to that moment when the bell rings in my head and I'm off.
Just sayin'. The weather's gorgeous, we gained an hour for daylight savings, I made lentils to keep me fed for the next week or so when I'll have no time to think about such petty things as meals, I've already got today's minimum word count and I'm just trucking along.
Welcome to the Best. Month. Ever.

ETA: Just realized that I had an illogical gap in my list of characters. The expert engineer has an apprentice, the government secretary has an assistant, and yet my pathologist was all alone. And they're going into plague country here. But. But. I don't want any more people.
So I created an assistant for the pathologist so that I can kill him off immediately upon arrival in the plagueified city. He is NOT wearing a red shirt, at least.
:D
