NaNoWriMo day one update. (don't worry I do not plan to do this every day...)

So, I started NaNoWriMo last night and managed 2354 words which I’m quite pleased about. However, because I did some before and some after midnight my average word count still has me finishing mid December *g*.
 
And this leads to one of the irritating things about being me. I am not generally competitive, never have been. I put this down to largely being shit at most things I do so I now accept loosing quite graciously. However, I do get very competitive with myself. So, despite going into this say I have my own personal goal of getting Callie’s story up to 50k rather than writing 50k in one month, after just one night my inner competitor is already seeing stars and preparing the protein shakes. I’m going to have a montage and a theme tune next.
 
Dammit.

Wow that's a lot of words. Hehehe, I'm a winner at losing too, so I can relate and right now I've got a coffee pot, some milk, sugar and a bowl of Halloween candy scattered around my laptop for energy. So far today I have tweeted and tumblred.

My story has already derailed. I have Russian woman running a diner. I was all, wtf? Where did you come from?

Lol. I like it when my characters take me by surprise. Though I was writing a really sad section last night and at one point one of my supporting characters said something so sweet which I hadn't expected and I just burst into tears.

Awwwwwwww I love it when they're sweet to each other unexpectedly. I also love that icon.

Hee, thanks. I saw the phrase on a clip for this week's Death in Paradise ep and there may have been begging for someone to make me an icon! Fifi happily obliged me!

Good for you! I'm not actually doing Nano this year but considering my current word count I'm wondering if I should have LOL. Good luck bb.

It's my first year...it may all go horribly wrong. The chances of me going insane are quite high I feel!!

Thanks!

Good luck! I hope to make up lots of words tonight. Stupid work put me behind.

I prepped the montage of the atmosphere of my story Before I started writing :) my word count was less than that, I'm aiming for 1667 per work day and as much as possible on weekends! and yeah, theme tune: Doctor Wanna Do by Caro Emerald :)

Keep going
