Day One Total: 5,459 words so far

Today was a pretty good day, I must say.

Of course, after writing enough to satisfy my day's quota before one a.m., there wasn't really much I could do to make it a bad day. I decided that I wanted to write at least five thousand words, and I succeeded with that, so I am pretty pleased with myself... how many times can I say that in one blog?

Despite not knowing where my afternoon went, I did manage to type out a couple thousand words, and another thousand or so after dinner.

My novel continues to surprise me. I keep using words I never thought I would, and within the first ten minutes I'd renamed all my main characters, and over the course of writing, named and renamed some supporting characters. I've ended today's writing with the end of a scene, and I suppose it would probably be the end of a chapter in the book itself. I'm wondering if ending the scene will make me more or less able to pick up where I left off tomorrow...

I'm operating on just under six hours of sleep, so I guess that's the one thing that hasn't increased today. I've definitely managed to overdo twittering. I've put a bunch of random strangers onto my NaNoWriMo list (@mandraco/wrimos) and spent a lot of time replying to (not necessarily the same) strangers while searching for tweets referencing NaNoWriMo. Sometimes I think that instead of making me less productive, NaNoWriMo actual increases my overall productivity for the month.

I guses that's enough about today. =)
