Day one done and day two done

Day 1 went OK. I got a good start, even if none of it made any sense. I got a decent word count, but I am not in love with this story. It just seems to be missing something. Oh well, I’ll just wait and see what happens.

Day 2 was pretty good as well. I expanded the beginning - I got an idea while I was being used as a bed by a cat. Then of course I went back to what I had thought of before that. Either way, I have a beginning. I also have a few other things going on and I am starting to see some potential, but it still isn’t really there yet.

So, I have a decent word count. Emphasis on the count. This is still utter crap. Of course, the idea of NaNoWriMo is to focus on quantity, not quality. Just get it done and edit later.

Well, that’s where I am, quantity, but I want quality. As much as I don’t love this story, writing it is fun. Well, once I get past the spot I’m working on at the moment it will be.

OK, even this is fun, but the rest will be more fun.

Excellent progress, word count-wise.
I just posted my first blogspot blog. You should all click on my name & read it. It's only 61 words, but it's not the sort of topic you want to read more of.

The weekend made it easier to get the word count, I think. Especially starting so early. Now if I can just keep it up.



BTW, checked out the blog - I like your topic. But you know me.
