one up, one down

Bad news or good news first?

Bad news? You got it.

Today, I didn't reach my daily NaNoWriMo word count goal. I know, I know, I can sense your disappointed head shakes from here. I only managed 1681 words, despite a Tim's run for a little liquid energy. I've got no excuses to offer—the words just wouldn't let themselves be written.

The good news: Somewhere amongst those 1681 words was my ten thousandth word. The MS for Pulled from the Waves (working title, obv) is now sitting at 10501. That means I'm a fifth of the way to my NaNo goal!

Uh oh.
The caffeine in my system is crashing.
We're going down!
Mayday!
Mayday!
