Day 2

Eh. Not bad - not great either. Only did about half my intended quota but didn't actually expect I would get this much done on my lunch break. Tomorrow gets to be my massive catch up day. Most of the first scene I'm working on is done. There is a slim chance I might get more done tonight but since I'm spending the night at Liz's this seems unlikely unless we choose the highly romantic option of ignoring each other in favour of our novels.

And so it begins...

Bleh, bad lollyblogging Dan - no cookie for you. Life has been remarkably busy the last few weeks between the deer, having to take care of stuff while my parents were out of town, and midterms. Oh well - November has arrived and caught me rather off guard. I swear I still had a few more weeks to prepare. I guess I will be writing a little more by the seat of my pants than I had hoped.

Halloween eve was nice being able to tramp the wee beasties about trick-or-treating. I hadn't gone trick-or-treating since I was about 12 so it was neat to go with them even though I was running herd rather than collecting loot. However Halloween has never filled me with such dread and terror before. First off Nanowrimo was to begin the next day and I felt (and still feel) woefully underprepared for this insanity. Add to that the horrible nightmares that I have about the possibility of Bush winning the election tomorrow. Not really Halloween related other than by proximity of date but hey Halloween finally started working it's sinister magic on me.

Today's novel writing was remarkably inadequate. Well I guess I'll make it up tomorrow. Actually I probably won't unless I have trouble sleeping - I'll make it up Wednesday I guess. Pretty pathetic considering I've known I was going to do this for months and have been preparing while Liz who has only been planning for a couple weeks (while denying she was) managed to exceed quota for today despite being sick. Obvious conclusion - I suck.
