stinglikeabee... and already I've seen bitching about HOW DARE EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER ON THE FLIST POST THEIR WORDCOUNT ON THEIR PERSONAL JOURNALS AND THE NANO COMMS?
Jaysus, it's the first day. As experience has shown, many nanoers will eventually stop posting word counts as the month progresses. Save the snarkiness for something worth it, like Sarah Palin's potential run for the 2018 candidacy.
So who wants to read what I've written so far? Figures :P
Went to a NaNo meetup today, and it was absolutely productive. I don't know why but being in a structured environment like writeups stimulates my appetite for writing. When fellow nanoers took breaks to chat, I juggled typing and joining in the conversation, which probably seemed rude now that I think about it. As for the question 'What am I writing?', the answer is: I don't know.
After writing 2,235 words though, I can safely assume what it's turned out to be is a yaoi novel. *facepalm* Hey, no one is more embarrassed or surprised than me. Trust.
On the bright side, I can't wait to see the look on people's faces at the NaNo afterparty when they read the first page of the novel -- it's the 'day after' scene between two guys in a motel. Hee.

Date: 2008-11-02 05:02 am (UTC)The write-in I went to is over in Carson, and looks set to be every Saturday. And as crazy as it sounds, I'm totally up for heading out to late night write-ins all over LA on weekdays. *needs to rope more people into this dastardly plan*
