So I haven't quite hit the word count for the day and just got off work with less than a half an hour until midnight.

Of course I don't consider it the 2nd until AFTER I sleep for some kind of length of time. I expect to hit it. lol

How goes the craziness?

Well, I'm off to a horrible start. 1,000 words in and I already hate my protagonist. :S

Here's a spoiler, I'm offing him at the end. :@

Because real supervillainy requires a Fu Manchu mustache.

I managed 1914 words yesterday before I hit a logical place to stop and didn't feel like forcing it any further. Here's hoping I can keep that up at the very least.

http://www.nanowrimo.org/user/148013 is me.

Insanity is right... I spent the whole first day stressing out because I wasn't able to start during my usual morning commute time. (I write on the train...) But I was able to find some time and quiet space and make my day one count after things settled down at work.
After this morning's ride in I'm at 2918.
If I can pound out another 1100 on the way home I'll be on track for my 2k per day, week one goal.
Luckily I was able to off a couple of meaningless characters in the prologue.... mmmm roasted astronaut in the morning...

I pushed out about 2340 yesterday despite hating the first three pages. What seemed great in my mind wasn't translating on the page, but at least the bones of what I'm aiming for are there for when/if I go back to rewrite it in December.

Rough start aside, I managed to get into a pretty good writing groove after the first 500 words or so. Worked from about 730p-930p and when I reached the end of the chapter I figured there was no point in pushing it further.

Turning off the TV (watching Simpson dvds) and turning on the music seemed to help a lot too.

Starting the third day and I'm at 3346.

Still starting the piece which sucks because I want to GET INTO THE MAIN story. Setting sucks.

Taking a break to sleep soon and hit it hard tomorrow.

Hope everyone isn't feeling THE FEAR yet.

I can already see how after completing two days a month of this will Doom my diseased mind forever.

Amen.

I'm just a bit over the 7k mark, which is ok considering I lost about 1000 words when my laptop crapped out on me. At least it happened near the start of the whole thing, so I actually improved on what I'd written in the first place.

I should be further ahead anyway, but my wife has put The Sims 2 on the PC and it's kind of addicting.

I'm getting my word count but am shying away from posting the rough draft because I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself.

Otherwise I'll be rewriting and getting nowhere.
