I currently have 2214 words so far and nothing has happened.  I think I am doing the worst, and the problem is that I just don’t care if I finish by the arbitrary date or not and I don’t like my book.

 Winky suggested I just start a new one, but then I’d have to come up with a different plot line.  Nah.

 I got the toolman to get into Nano too, although he’s doing his own rogue version.

 He makes fun of me and has no faith in my ability to accomplish.

 I want to prove him wrong, but let’s be honest…I have a lot of work ahead of me and not a lot of time.

 The toolman said he wouldn’t make fun of me if I got at least 25,000 words by the end of the month, so that is my first goal: get at least 25,000 words.

 Winky, the toolman, and I went to “Stranger than Fiction” tonight, which was a bit of a motivator.  Lets see what develops…

Here’s my first NaNoWriMo post, to get the ball rolling.

E - give us some pointers in how you tackle this beast!

I’ve already given my book some thought, and do not like what I have come up with.  The old me would have scrapped the idea, but I think I’ll suffer through it, even if I don’t like the end product.

That’s the whole point for me - to not abort, especially before I’ve even gotten started.
