Day Ten

NaNoWrimo has been put on an unfortunate back burner for me the last few days. It wasn't my choice. It was my computer's choice. To die. But, like Lazarus, it was resurrected. But, not in a cool way by Jesus. In a much more mundane way, by a new battery arriving safe and sound (FINALLY).

I also lost roughly 1900 words because I broke my flash drive. I felt like God was taunting my efforts, and not in a good way.

The good news is, I've made up for the lost words. The bad news is, I also lost some good thoughts. I had really good vibes going last Friday when I wrote those words. My repeat efforts feels much less inspired. Oh well, that's what editing is for, and NaNoWriMo is not about editing.

I'm going to now try to get another 2,000 words out before bed. I'm excited because I'm going to delve into my character as young children. I'm curious to see what I'll come up with. Hopefully something more inspired than my repeat effort of making breakfast and meeting their closeted, gay lawyer. (Is it Freudian that I typed "Laura" instead of "lawyer" as I first wrote that. I'm going to blame it on having just watched last night's episode of "Glee," which was all about gender issues.)

Ok, back to nanoing, instead of blogging.

Happy writing!
