9000 words already, Jesus Christ Kristykimmy. And I was proud of myself for having over 4k on the first day. XD

This story has been in the planning stages since last year. (Although, I'll admit the beginning was given the least planning as I focused on key points in the story, which don't happen for a while yet.)

Kristykimmy, I am in awe. I'm racing the clock to get today's deadline. I went to work today, and had a massive pressure headache that crippled me for three or four hours after I got back, so I'm rather proud of my progress. I feel like I've gotten nowhere, though. I'm wavering between 'Am I writing too much detail into events that don't need them, or not enough?'. There is such a fine balance, and I'm never sure which I'm in while I'm actually writing it. For the moment, I'm just writing what comes and remembering that I can cut and expand at a later date as much as I like. I'll be glad to get to the action. That is usually fairly straightforward. XD;

I'm sure it's fine. ^_^

I'm sure it's fine. ^_^ In spite of it, I'm kinda fascinated by the wind. We really should put up windmills all over the area where I live. Even during the summer the winds are fairly constant, but come fall through early spring, it never stops blowing. Plus, windmills are awesome scenery. I know, and that's what I keep telling myself. Just having the first version down makes everything to follow so much easier.

Can somebody please explain to me why it is my muse decided to wait until it was time to focus on my NaNo novel to get really interested in that NT series I've been trying to finish for months? :I

...Yeah, that sounds like a pretty accurate explanation. Inspiration is so frustratingly fickle =K How's your NaNo going, despite your muse's attempts to run off with another idea?

Eh, depends on whether you count "doing well" based on just the wordcount or also count in adding in new ideas and such. I'm only at about 175 words so far (meep), but in the meantime I've been getting some more concrete ideas for the specifics of these first few chapters. I've also found a couple more mythical creatures to add to my "bestiary," including a North American type that I've got an idea for tying in via a conversation somewhere later in the book, and that's really nice because I've been trying to find more non-European creatures to balance out all the European ones I'm most familiar with XD
