NaNoWriMo Update – Day 2

I’m up to 3,020 words. Not as many as I’d hoped, but I needed to get a few things done this evening, plus I had a monster headache. The next few days are going to be difficult, with a meeting tomorrow night with our wedding photographer about our big, expensive, keepsake album, and then Thursday night we leave for Minnesota for the weekend. I’m going to bring Andrew’s laptop and try to continue writing, but I have a feeling that I’ll be playing catch-up next week.

The story sucks so far, but I’m not letting myself go back and change things too much. I really just want to get a story down on paper that I can go back to later, do some research on a few things, clean up the plot, add more description and beef up the characters. For now I’m just forcing myself to put words on paper. I don’t actually know where the story is going, but I had my first peek last night into the conflict of the novel.
