Off to the Races
Started writing at midnight last night, and knocked down just over a thousand words before hitting the sack ~40 minutes later. Got up this morning, and am currently at 1,766 words. I have no illusions that it's anything other than crap, but it's an interesting process. I've basically been just letting whatever happen happen so far, because really, I just need to be able to get into the heads of the characters, and figure out what kind of world they inhabit. So far, at least three things that I had no idea would happen have happened, and the story's gone off on a complete tangent, that I think is necessary.
No dialogue yet, largely because I'm scared of it, but also, because so far, none has really been necessary. Sounds like someone will start talking soon, though, or this whole thing's going to be very tell, not show. :D
Fun!

Because I'm actually working today (damn Seppo for taking the day off!!) I am only at 783 words in 35 minutes from last night after midnight. He's kicking my ass!
I am not sure I want to use what I wrote for the beginning, but it made me cry. Wtf? I was surprised that I was already so involved in my characters.
Tonight is all about catch-up! I hope to blast past my last year's word count for today, which was 2,662.
Don't forget to update your wordcounts at www.nanowrimo.org under "Edit Profile" so you can have a snazzy user profile page like me! :)
Funny. I didn't include dialogue for at least 6 pages. I just didn't present itself and I admit...it's daunting.
That's a heavy word count for one day. Good luck.
4377.
