Day 1

When: 7:45 -9:30 (1470ish words) 4:00-4:30 (450ish words)
Where: Couch, kids playing under feet
What: Started with 'F J' Fictional account of a woman's battle with depression (ended up being too closely related to my life and my life does not have a satisfactory ending yet. When the critic arrived to chop it to pieces, I allowed it. But only because there was something much more fun in the wings waiting my attention. I ended my writing today with a children's story that will either develop into a series for NaNo or 1 of several unrelated stories. It's all about words on paper and whether it one story or many, I think it counts. Possibly, when this children's story is finished (It's about half.) The novel will be able to take center stage.
How: Beginning in the deep end. Ending in the baby pool.
Why: Found it easier to finish typing a thought with the children interrupting when the sentences are smaller and the plot not so convoluted.
Adapt? I like the idea of starting in the morning. That way I have all day to get back to it if the morning dawns with needy children. I do however think I will work on it a bit each night before bed as well. Either finish up on my goal, or get ahead for the next day. I do need to think of things the kids can do while I type. I fixed the baby swing outside, so on these cool mornings we can go outside. It's much easier for my toddler to entertain herself outside and I think I can swing the baby with a push or two between paragraphs.

Tomorrow, there will likely be no post and likely a shortage of words on paper, due to Ren Fest. I have charged my Clie to use during the 2 hour drive. But thumb typing is not a method for speed.

Hope you all had a productive day!
