Well, didn't get to work on this much today. But I did work on it :D About 1400 words, which isn't bad for less than an hour's work. I blame it on my brother and the weather :p Can't smoke in the house when he's down, so have to stop and go outside instead of taking a couple relaxing puffs along the way. And of course good weather means outside stuff to do. But he's going home tomorrow afternoon, so will have most of the night to write tomorrow.
But I'm definitely getting a feel for the story now. I know better what it's going to be about and the direction things are going to go. I actually think by the time I get through this month, I might actually have a workable story. Weeks of rewriting, of course, but it might not be as horrid as I thought at first. Still having to stop myself from editing as I go along, and getting rid of contractions so I can get the word count up. Breaking habits of too many years - that's HARD! :p
Anyway, tomorrow's another day. At least I've actually started, right? Right? LOL
Only thing is I didn't get to put my count on NaNo - kept timing out so I guess their server must be really busy. Oh well - I'll get it up there eventually ;-)
