snore. (12,000 words and beyond)

Day #5 of my Nanowrimo run.

Words today (so far): Hmm. This is tricky. I did my day’s work by hand, and I think it should be around 2,000 or so words. Hopefully! But I’ll see what it comes out to tomorrow morning. Handwritten pages are notoriously unreliable… but I’m willing to say I’m done for the day.

Words, total: If I did my work well this morning, I should be right around 12,000.

Mood/status: Sick with a cold. Which means I’d rather bury my face in my pillow and let my characters run loose. (It would probably be just as well, as their dialogue has turned as amusing as sawdust. Maybe a bit of fending for themselves would be good. They could learn a decent joke or two, and come back and tell me… Or have a scavenger hunt. That’s it. Someone, please take my characters on a scavenger hunt.)

Today’s Nano trick? Tea. Hot cider. And comforting myself with the fact that, hey, it’s only day five.—jl
