Day 1 of NaNoWriMo

Day 1 is almost over. I think I've finished my first chapter, and it sits at about 4,347 words, eleven pages. I'm kind of fond of it so far, but I can see this is going to be a difficult month. I'm trying my hardest to just let the editing go and remember Chris Baty's first pep talk, reminding me that I shouldn't try to make a bookstore novel appear this month, because bookstore novels all started out as rough drafts just like mine at one point. But it's hard. Really.

I'll probably get another couple thousand words out of the way this weekend, which is a good feeling. It's best to get a strong start, right? (:

See you in the days to come.
