#NaNoWriMo Day One

5,058 words for day one. Did I get a little too ambitious? Maybe. Here’s the thing though: I knew how I wanted the story to start out. I’ve known for a long time. So I knew I’d have a decent day today. I am well pleased :)

But the hard part will come tomorrow when I sit down to write the next part. I am, and have been, stuck on coming up with some names for a couple of things. Seems minor, but I spent all day yesterday trying to sort this out and I didn’t get what I wanted. I’m naming a location and the main baddie. Kind of important, and their names will feature big in the story. So I’ve inadvertently put a lot of pressure on myself to get their names right and well, me + pressure = very bad thing.

But a good start today means I have a bit of breathing room :)

Debating whether to post the story online as I go. I’m thinking I might get entangled in too much editing if I do that so I think I will keep it offline until I’m done. The editing comes later right?
