Nano Day 1: Morning Status
It was tough getting started, but I used the old "no breakfast until you've gotten some work done" bribe. It worked, even though I got so hungry I had to get some cereal right around word 1,500.
Current word count = 2010
I hope to add on more words later today. It's key to get as far ahead as possible right off the bat.
I thought briefly about posting an excerpt but I just can't. The work so far is truly bad. The opening is beyond dreadful. But I just made a note to fix the opening (and other things) later, and kept going.
All that fixing stuff is for later. I don't even have proper names for things yet. I've got placeholder names for both alien species so far. (Things like XYZ and ZIN.) Once I figure out what to call them, I'll do a search and replace. But that too is for another day.
Good luck to all my fellow NaNo-ers.
Now, get back to work. ;) I'm taking a short break, then I will be getting back to the word count generating myself.
