Brain of Dane

NaNoWriMo couldn’t have picked a worse month for me.  I’m sure that’s what I would say if it was in October, or January, or June.  But this month is still a bad month.  For instance, October was extremely sparse.  I had nothing on the calendar, and I was playing World of Warcraft much more than any grown man should be.  But then November rolled around and I got a callback from two different companies that wanted to interview me.  Both are out of town, so that’s two days where I should be writing for each trip.  A total of 4 days that I got hardly any writing done.

And then there was my one class this semester.  I’m not complaining, since it is only one class, but my professor decided that he wanted to drop a couple of projects on us, since “I haven’t given you enough work”.  My point exactly.  Why didn’t NaNoWriMo come last month?

My story is coming along pretty well.  I will have a TON of editing to do after this is done, since a few people want to read my convoluted fantasy.  There will be a lot of plot twists, I think.  And none of them will make sense.  What matters is that I have been enjoying myself, and I really like my characters so far.

If you want to track my progress, just come back here daily and check out my word count on the top right side of this page.  I am currently far enough behind that I need to write twice as much as I have just to catch up.  But so is everyone else.  It’s the beauty of NaNoWriMo.  Now that this word count is well over 200, bordering 300, I must go and write some more of my novel.  Wish me luck.
