I love nanowrimo. Honestly, I do. Sure, there were a couple of people I thought were a little odd, but the ones I stuck with, that I chatted with and quite possibly annoyed a little bit? They were cool. They were also from California, the west coast, and one of them even heard of, knew, and had been to some of the cities that I lived in back in Oregon.
This is a rare thing to have when you live in Utah now, trust me.
He also had some really cool writing 'tarot' cards, where when you want inspiration on a plot point, you draw a card and it gives you a prompt. I drew one at the end right before I left, and ended up getting 'fear'. I laughed, and he said, "Well that's no problem!" Given how my story starts out at a warehouse with a superhero fight, yeah.
And while I felt like I didn't write a lot while I was there, I still managed to write more than I probably would have on my own, at home. There were a ton of people there, many of which answered a lot of questions that you wouldn't expect the average person to know, and nobody judged. (I also got a couple of free drinks--a mango/peach smoothie and a hot chocolate) There were a couple of creepy people there, but they mostly kept to themselves or simply answered some questions when people asked them.
I ended up with 2,135 words today. :D Tomorrow, if I want to wimp out, I'll have to write only 1,199. So that means I wrote 468 extra today. It helps when you're at a write-in with a notebook instead of a laptop and don't have a word count telling you that you've done enough, that you don't have to write anymore for the day.
I might write more tonight. It depends on how I'll feel after getting into mah pjs and watching an episode or two of House Hunters.
And the fight isn't over. >:)
Here's a lovely picture of Captain America to tide y'all over til tomorrow. :D
