National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) started yesterday, and I have decided to write that one story about the cats. So yesterday, I started going to town, since I had a lot of time that day that I wanted to kill, was sick, and not really in a great mood, so it was a good escape.

The goal is to write a novel of at least 50,000 words by the end of the month, from scratch, so that's about 1,700 words a day.

Yesterday, I wrote 5,103 words. That's a pretty smashing start if I do say so myself!

This morning, since lunch was so far behind and I'm upset about that, I had some extra time so I got all of my writing out of the way. Thank you for going away, Daylight Savings Time, and giving me an extra hour to write. I managed to write 2,144 words this morning, bringing the current count to 7,247 or something like that.

I wish the site, NaNoWriMo.org, didn't crawl like FA or fchan on a bad day. Actually, an epicly bad day. It's really slow and a pain to update my word count there. Oh well.

Anyone else participating in NaNoWriMo? You can add me as a writing buddy if you are. If the damn site loads, that is... Here's my user account there, where you can check my status: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/435634
