Now we're getting there...

I spent a couple hours at the cafe with a group of NaNo-ers working on the novel. Laptops are a beautiful thing. And, I got quite a bit accomplished. I was suprised at how quickly I was able to produce 1,322 words actually.

Of course, I still have no plan. It's all just evolving as I make it up. But I'm having fun.

The NaNo-ers seemed very personable. I was about an hour late but they still made room for me. We were squooshed in a corner and my laptop was literally a LAPtop. But, it worked out pretty well. Actually, it took me out of the center of the conversation (because, while I was there, I wasn't pulled up to the table, just sitting in the circle) so I think I got more done than I otherwise might have.

I'm glad I went too because I discovered that, about forty-five minutes into it, I was about to go round the bend with not being able to stop and distract myself. I wrote through it instead...and found a second wind and a lot more words...and a couple new characters...and an exploding...well, I'll leave that for now.

Happy writing! I'm catching up...
