This has probably been the craziest NaNo of all time for me. I started 7 days late with one story and then 20 days into it, decided to start another one. [Hey, those words count dammit, no matter what the end result is].
Yes, that's right, I'm no longer writing a story about the roaring 1890s. Now it's something more of a insane tale about a girl cursed to calamity if she leaves her home and a boy doomed to eventually blow up working together to find her brother who has been kidnapped by a robotic Pied Piper along with a slew of other children.
It's pretty crazy, but I'm loving it so far. I think I'll even try to finish it in NaNoFiMo and then polish it up during March.
Tonight I wrote 8k. And that's after a full day of work at the job (which is partly why I've gotten so damned far behind).
I earned some cheesecake and sleep.
Goodnight.

Monday...
I was distracted again today, but managed a very nice 4k for the day. I could be writing so much more, but I've been dealing with some writer's block lately.
Word count:
20,226. Only a bit over 4k from catching up to Tuesday's 25k.
Inner Critic:
Appeased, but I haven't written enough for her to critique.
Actual Novel:
11,192, which is pretty good considering the whole situation. Woo.
Characters Dead: 1
None.
Where are they?
She's about to go to the circus. [I really need to rewrite this all in editing...it's so damn sluggish.]
Bed time.
