Nano Day 1

So, it's the end of my first day of NaNoWriMo. My total word count was 1411 in a total writing time of 3 hours. That's a lot slower than I wanted to go, but I'm happy with what I've got. I keep telling myself that I can edit after the 30th, so just let the story take care of itself.

Most of my writing "time" wasn't purely devoted to writing, I usually have to do other things in between my fits of creativity. Although, I did log an impressive 1011 words between 2 & 3 in the morning. Of course, I lost almost 200 of those words when my machine locked up when I was trying to save the document. Thankfully, I was using OpenOffice so I was able to recover 834 words of the original. If it wasn't for the doc recovery feature, I probably would have quit from the frustration. I hoping to duplicate the above mentioned feat (the 1,000+ words in an hour, not the crash) repeatedly over the next few days. Hopefully I can make up for the time (and the words) I lost today.
