Yeah, I know, a pitiful word count.  Well here are the excuses.  Work was tough today, and when lunch rolled around I couldn’t focus.  Then things this evening didn’t line up until about 12:00 AM.  yes I know that’s technically Day 4, but I haven’t slept yet so it’s still Day 3.  Nanny nanny boo boo. ;)

So thik weekend I’m looking to actually plot out this novel.  I thought I could just write it without really knowing where it’s going.  I probably could., but I need a few basic plot points.  I’m getting some good background info, but I will qiuckly not know where to go if I keep this up.

So, tomorrow I’ll design plot points, develop a little more character bio / history through flashbacks, thought-backs, etc.  Have a good day :)

I got a late start tonight.  I didn’t start writing until after 8:00 PM tonight and needed to stop a few minutes ago.  Brain is shutting down, eyes closing.  My three hour round trip to get to work and back seems to be taking it’s toll a lot earlier these days than it used to do.

Not bad for one day.  The founder, Chris Baty, suggested we aim for 2000 words a day instead of the minimum of 1667.  This makes sense as it will help you reach the 50,000 words a bit earlier and give you a bit of a cushion.  As Mur Lafferty said, Thanksgiving is approaching here in the USA.  I’ll Update for my NaNo Day 2 later tonight.
