How it's going.

As of this moment my wordcount is 13, 129.  I still have a few hundred to go to meet the daily wordcount goal.  My story is coming along nicely, but I'm not far into territory I haven't already covered in the original first draft.  I expect the real test will come next week when I go completely new.

My family has not been complaining too much, which I take to mean I'm doing a much better job balancing NaNo with my domestic responsibilities.  Tonight I fear a migraine may be on its way and I'd like nothing more than to sink into a very warm bath or get a massage.  Neither is likely to happen, but I can dream.

This year marks my third year hosting the NaN-orphans Guild for Mentorless Newbies.  It is a very rewarding experience to have new NaNo-ers thank you for helping them get through the first intimidating days.  I've added helpful hints this year and I hope I don't run out of ideas for them before the end of at least week three.

I'm afraid that's all for today.  Time to make food to feed the people in my house, because they don't know how to feed themselv

Hi Kate. I'm so excited that you're working on the next DeFord book. Yay! I can't wait to read it.

Looks like your post cut off. Did we miss anything important?

I hope Nano is still going well and you never got the migraine! How is your word count going?

Ann, nothing important. Just the end of that particular sentence.

Wendi, NaNo is going fairly well and the migraine went away. I've fallen behind on my wordcount this weekend, but I think I can catch up.
