Well it’s now 1:25 am so I believe that it is now safe to say that I have successfully survived my first day of NaNoWriMo. Was it hard? Very much so. I ended the day with just over 2200 words and I must admit that I am pretty proud of myself. I thought that I would have at least done 5000 words today but under the circumstances I will take 2000.

The key to my success I think will be learning to find time to write when I can focus for a long period of time and write without interruption. I imagine that it will prove to be quite the challenge though with a newborn and a 6 year old. Between cooking and swimming lessons and getting the princess to and from school my writing had a get in where you fit in type of attitude today.

So far I have set my opening scene as well as some character building scenes for my main character. I have the plot in my head and I imagine that it will be quite the story once I really get going. I find myself consumed with thoughts and scenes that I want to write. Can I really be missing my characters already when I’m not with them? Geez that didn’t take long!

Lets hope that the kids co-operate today so that I can get some real ground covered for day two.

So to my fellow wrimo’s how was your first day? Let me know!

xoxo
