Update, nano edition
keeping this separate from the previous entry just 'cause.
Between birthdayings and cattings, I am only at 2k words, but still chugging along. The birthday stuff always throws a dent in my early momentum (the cat stuff was NOT expected and didn't help at all) so it's not unusual for me to be behind at this point.
(writing goals are really hard for me to set. If I do a "must write every day", then I beat myself up for days that I am not able to write at all, which always happens, especially since I have to go to bed when my aide person gets here at night so can't just decide to stay up for long enough to do a sentence. If I do a "must average out to a ridiculously high number of words per day", which is sort of what NaNo is, then I beat myself up if I get significantly behind. If I do a "must average out to a ridiculously small number of words per day", then it doesn't feel like achieving anything because one day of writing gets me that goal. bah. brains are annoying sometimes :) )
