NaNo - Day 1

If day one is any indication -- we are in for a long and bumpy November.

I broke the fourth wall before I'd even written 1000 words. Okay, well it kind of needed to be said, but ya know, the fourth wall already? What was worse was what I said right before the 4th wall breakage.

Theodore sniffed and said, “I sensed a disturbance in the force.”
Ahahahahah you did NOT just say that. Less than a thousand words and fourth wall breakage already. Lord, this is going to be an interesting Nano.

This is day one there is no excuse.






To make matters worse I was at work and I realized that I left my MC darning socks. My MC is a Sorceress so powerful that her family has been in charge of guarding the portal for thousands of years. I'm thinking that there has got to be something more intriguing out there for her to do - but nope, she's darning her socks.

Once again - Day one. No Excuse.

I'm trying very hard to shake off this lack luster beginning and not delete - it is 1,693 words after all. Since I am at word count for today maybe I will do a little no, no and go fix the mess.


What's the worst that could happen?
I could hurl all over my keyboard rendering it useless - that would be bad.
After re-reading the drivel I could totally give up - that too would be bad.

OR
I could fix it, forgive myself, maybe even gain a few more words.


Decisions, decisions, decisions...
