On NaNoWriMo (It has started!)
Well. I am a bit sweaty.
Amazingly, even though I gorged myself yesterday I gained nothing, and nearly lost a pound. This never happens. Like, ever. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I worked out twice yesterday but hey, I'm not complaining, and NaNoWriMo began this morning. Yes, I stayed up to midnight. Easily. I ate a Reese's cup and chocolate nut bar and two peppermints while I was writing, and then I started to doze off, so I saved and went to sleep.
I don't remember if I went to sleep at 12:30, or 12:45, or after one, but my wordcount now is 4,623. I would like to break 5k today, of course, and will probably be able to in about fifteen minutes.
I want to make a synopsis of my book. Since I have yet to do that.
Nicky Fibbs is a pirate slash explorer slash magic-extraordinarre. He'd prefer being a pirate slash explorer slash magic-extraordinare who gets to choose his own adventures. This time he doesn't even get to stay in England or, for that matter, reality. What is this place? It looks real, it feels real, the magic is real and the pain is real--but he's never seen such sheer power, and he's certainly never held it in his hands. Nicky feels himself changing. He feels the blood in the sky and the slam of his heart, and when he opens his eyes, the puppet will become the master.
That took about twelve minutes, I think. But I rather like it and if the NaNoWriMo site weren't so laggy today, I might put it up. Perhaps tonight the traffic will slow down. Or around four in the morning.
Well. Back to writing! Peace, world.
