Welcome back!

All right! I made my writing goal for the first day and things are looking good.

Now I just need to repeat this for the next 30 days for the next three months…. Good, lord, what have I gotten myself into?

Seriously though, I’m looking forward to the end result of this orgy of productivity. Even if it may end up killing me, I’ll have a lot more to re-write, edit and get out there.

It’s both exciting and scary.

To keep track of everything, I’m using the NanoWriMo Report Card spreadsheet to track my progress and other stats. It’s a definitive must if you’re going to be pumping out words on a schedule like I’ve given myself. It’ll tell you nifty info how much you can produce in a given time period and just how much as a percentage you have left of your novel. You can find it here, and if you want to undertake NanoWriMo or decide to do your own personal NanoWriMo, then I recommend you get it.

As of now, the second day isn’t off to as good a start since I’m off to a career fair in the morning in order to secure some extra income to keep the lights on and the Internet flowing. But just like yesterday, I know I can make it up later in the day.
