NaNoWriMo thus far: 10,746 words as of the end of Day 6.
That's about a tenth of a novel, but maybe a greater fraction of this one. I'm not sure yet how long this story will be. Think about it, though, a tenth of a novel is just 30 pages of a mass-market paperback. I'm not hardly started, and I don't expect to finish in November.
The writing has been fun, except that the joints in my hands are acting up again. I actually have enough time and energy to write my novel and for this site too, but my hands can't take it. I'm burbling blog entries in my head all day long (I narrate my life constantly, not out loud though, much to the relief of those around me). I don't write them down because my hands are aching and I have to save them up for that earning a living thing I need to do.
Our trip to the museum to review the ancient art collection was not very successful. The museum is undergoing an expansion, and all the parts of the museum that I wanted to see were closed off! Gee, they didn't mention that on the website. This isn't such a problem as far as my story goes because the exhibit that my characters are going to see was radically remodeled over ten years ago and basically no longer exists in that form. But still, I wanted to review the layout and look for places to insert secret passages.
