Nano-trivia

So, I decided to back up my novel by opening the file to copy 'n' paste it into email to send myself a copy. Subject: 38209 (my word count).
Then I opened the document only to find that there were only 7712 words.
I didn't even swear out loud.
Silly document ended up in my "backup word files" folder in my "nanowrimo 2010 folder".

BTW - This is the only update/backup that I've done that wasn't an even number or a 5. I have weird number issues.

Oddities...

One of the strange things about November is the way in which cause and effect is redesigned.

For example, I actually thought to myself, I have to name chapter twelve, and then I can go take a shower.

It's odd, really...

It's only the 2nd -

and I've already achieved my first nano cheat - an elaborate description of wood burned walking sticks.

443 words.

and probably not even the entire 443 words since I added a few to make complete sentences.

Totally nano-legit.

:)

Day 1

I wrote a few sentences.
6077 words.
3923 to go for my next bag of pretzel M&Ms.
