End of the first day
Sep. 2nd, 2006 10:18 pmI'm getting ready to turn in for the night. My attempt at a nap earlier didn't pan out, so I hope I managed to sleep tonight.
I know it is time to turn in when I start mixing my homonyms. I just wrote "She won't come near me; I don't think she knows I'm hear." I wonder how many of those I haven't caught.

Progress on outline: still 9 of 14
Number of copies saved to GMail: 4
I took a break for dinner (green onion pancakes and spring rolls) and some forgettable TV, then came back for another hour and a half or so of peppermint tea and putting in the pieces of a plotline I forgot to introduce early enough in the novel. I think I've got the groundwork laid for it now, so tomorrow should be about moving the plot forward.
I think that makes about eleven hours in front of the computer today. I've wandered over to the 3-Day Novel forum for a few minutes here and there, and I've been updating this once in a while, but most of that time has really been spent writing. I don't think I even did a marathon like this during my university years.
Over at the forum, some people are flying along and some are struggling. I feel like I'm in the "flying" category for now; the story's been going well and I don't want to give up, scream, cry, or throw things, which seems to be what the "struggling" folks are going through. I'm also proud to note that my caffeine intake is much lower then most of the other 3-Dayers, though I doubt that'll hold through tomorrow.
Off to bed for me! I'll be back here (hear?) all too soon.
