I did write a bit at midnight, you know, just to kick NaNoWriMo 2013 off right at the start. Then it was off to work very early this morning for a day of new iPad launch and other craziness. There was a lot that was nice, like the conversation I found myself in with a man who had moved to this area to work in the food industry and had that revelation: “self, this isn’t really doing it for you.” He decided to take a year off, I think he said he was doing some work at the Chatham Food Co-op and just trying to decide what to do next. Not my normal work conversation but we had that moment, in between the techno-talk. It was nice.<\/p>\n
Came home. When I turn onto my actual road, it’s not even a quarter mile to my house. Being a nut-case, I don’t go too fast and I use my turn signal to indicate I’m turning here, into my driveway. Tonight the headlights behind me were coming up very very fast and I finally aborted my normal turning into driveway for a slide across the driveway mostly off the road onto the shoulder just in time to let the big car fly past me. Stuff like that I really don’t get: to slow down for someone turning into a driveway in a residential area delays your journey by a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n
Glad that I was able to pull out again and pull properly into the driveway, I came in and made a pot of tea and sat down at the computer to write. Total NaNoWriMo Day One success with 1947 words and a nice stopping point for the night. (You can follow along at home with the counter in the sidebar!) I want to focus a bit on the progress of the main character as he continues to adjust to his new life. It’s not all smooth sailing for him.<\/p>\n
Guess that’s it for the night. Going to goof off a bit before closing the eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
