(Starting day counts over for 2009)
Not quite as Dark & Early today, but I still got quite a lot accomplished. As I hoped, a few more paragraphs enabled me to pick up the next scene from the first draft, which was mostly cut and paste. Then I polished those pages (it was first draft NaNoWriMo quality!) So a really good morning so far.
I also started working on a short story last night. Yeah, I need another idea like a hole in the head, but it’s short. Target length is 2-4K. I have no idea if I can pull that off, but I love the challenge.
Today: 2,545
NSR total: 37,622

Nice snippet.
These snippets all sound so ominous and exciting. 😀 Making good progress!
😀 Ah, another excellent snippet! Thank you for providing such nice respites from my chaos… I mean, day.
