Day 1...so far so good

I got up early, had my coffee and breakfast and then wrote for 3 solid hours, producing 1662 words. That 3 hours included deciding upon names, (there was one M in there...marty), picking the season and making plotting decisions. I have a general idea of where I want this story to go, but have not structured or planned it in any way. this month is all about freeform for me. No editing. No worrying about run on sentences, dangling participles and trying to make it look like the story takes place somewhere in the US. I set the thing in Toronto so I can just refer to the city, the streets and the landmarks with ease.

The nanowrimo website is jammed right now and I can't get on there, so I'll post my word count later tonight or tomorrow.

Notes for tomorrow:
-don't eat while you write..it slows you down. better to take a 5 minute break to eat
-no matter how much you want it, DO NOT drink too much coffee.
-when you're done, go for a walk and cool off
