The Finnish Bazaar is over and I am beat. It was a fun time, as always. Good food, good stuff to buy, and I won something in a raffle! I never win things. But today I did.

I’m behind in the writing but expected that. On day four I should be up around 6,000 words and I’m just shy of 3,000. Will make it up in the next few days.

OK. Naptime.

Darn! November 2, 2006

It sounds as if there was a party at Denny’s in Ballard last night. I wish I’d gone!!

1,728 words so far… November 2, 2006

That takes care of yesterday and then some, and today is barely begun.

So far so good.

Well, I didn’t make it to a Denny’s last night. And why is that significant? Well, apparently it is a traditional kick-off to NaNoWriMo to go to your local Denny’s late on Halloween and start writing en masse at midnight. Or solo, if you happen to be the only one there, I guess. There is a Denny’s just about a mile from here, and I was planning to go to see if there was any NaNo activity, but at 11:30 I just couldn’t bring myself to go get in the car. Off to a lackluster start.

I did, however, sit down and write a few hundred words between midnight and 1 this morning. To write 50,000 words in 30 days requires about 1700 words a day, so I’ll have to give it another shot later on if I’m not going to fall behind. So far it doesn’t seem daunting, but I have a backlog of ideas saved up…who knows when they’ll run out??
