NaNoWriMo Starts Today!!!

Am I ready? Hell no! Do I care? Maybe? Am I still going to do it? Of Course!!! I spent the better part of October plotting and prepping my novel for my very first National Novel Writing Month (Nanowrimo) but no matter how hard I tried, I could not see the end. Without an ending, I didn't know where I was headed... THEN 4 days ago I realized that it was because I wasn't starting at the beginning. So, I went back even further to find my start and my finish. Which just so happened to be in a completely different story. This gave me a total of about 2 days to come up with new characters and building an alien civilization from the ground up. BUT I'm happy to report that being an astronaut, that's all I really needed. So far the count is; a little over 1000 words, 4 cups of strong coffee, and left over Halloween candy... we won't even go there! ;) Happy NaNo Everyone!
