NaNoWriMo, Day 1
For those of you wondering what NaNo is...
Status Report:
The first day of this task has gone rather well. After only two hours I managed to hit my quota for the day, and I rode this wave of productivity to build a healthy safety buffer in case I hit a block or a day gets too busy to work (read: Black Friday). I want to build a safety net large enough so that I can skip one or two days entirely without suffering for it.
It feels nice to come back to The Icks. I tried to run the story as a PBEM roleplaying game, but I forgot to take into account that I suck so it didn't last very long. I have a rough outline and a few characters set up, and other than that it's all coming off the top of my head. I'll be doing daily updates, so you can watch me finish my first novel manuscript. Or alternatively, watch my psyche unravel. Either way it'll be fun fun fun!
