Day 6 (because all the imagination I could have used for a title is going to NaNo)

My story is progressing nicely (knock on wood) and I'm several days ahead of my word count. Today's word goal is 10,002, and just a few minutes ago I hit 17,384, which gets me past Saturday's word count and half way to Sunday's. I didn't realize how much I'd written just today until I looked at the little chart thing on the NaNo website, which is back up now. I've done a good chunk today. That's very fortunate, because in half an hour I have to go to class, and then I'm spending the rest of the night at a goth club with a bunch of friends.

Speaking of which, I may not be writing much at all for the next two days...we'll probably get home "tonight" at about 3:30 tomorrow morning. I have to get up in time for class at 10:00, and then I pretty much go all day, not getting back from work until 2:30 on Thursday morning. Of course, I have to get up for class at the same time then, too. Agh!

Anyway, the storyline is pretty much sticking to my outlined plot, but my points were really only the major ones, so I've discovered the freedom to throw in some smaller surprises. I made one character mysteriously disappear, and invented a whole new one to create more trouble for my MCs (and simultaneously bring the two MCs closer together).

In real-time, my cell phone has run out of battery and I STILL have not recieved my wall charger in the mail, after more than two weeks. That means I have to go out and plug it into my car, which is a rather long walk from here, and it's cold and rainy outside. I think I'll wait until we're taking my car anyway to go clubbing...then again, if anyone changes the plans on me, I won't have a clue. Oh well, such is life. At least I've got a phone again - my last one had an unfortunate encounter with a toilet two days before Pumpkinfest.
