NaNoWriMo: Update

The best laid plans of mice and men…

I was ahead the first day, with over 6,000 words to my credit. Then I began slacking. Then I got wrapped up in a non-fiction project (which has a heck of a potential, so I’m digging in with everything I’ve got).

So I’m about 6,000 words behind right now, with little interest in my characters. The really depressing aspect is that the characters are all people I actually know – and the story is a grossly fictionalized account of a year in my life. So basically, I’m admitting to being bored with myself. Heh.

However, we’re still not quite at the halfway point of the month, so I’m not giving up. I can still catch up and make the 50,000 target by November 30.
