Like excavating with a backhoe...

I'm simultaneously pulling and pushing words from all places. Not quite in the nano-groove yet this year. I don't know my characters very well. I'm not sure of their motivations or back story. I didn't spend as much time in prep as last year - which is both good for my health and bad for my writing. Waiting for the characters to reveal themselves to me so they can send me on their way. 

It's getting desperate already - I've resorted to not only mentioning a Turbie Twist® hair towel, but also a 47 word disclaimer about the fact that I've never used a Turbie Twist® hair towel and mentioning my preferred style. 

And it's only the third....

Yes, I stopped at exactly 4500 words. I was going for 5k tonight, but I told myself I would stop at 9 in hopes of getting more sleep tonight.
