I'm three days in and at 4K . . . I'm doing 2000 words a night in about an hour and a half, and I haven't done Day 3 yet. The novel is breezing along, thanks to the outline I meticulously constructed the week before. That's the secret to NaNoWriMo. Outlines. Plan it down to the bone marrow and you'll never lack for something to write.
I'm almost enjoying it, actually. Seeing my word count on the little graph each night, type-typing away, finally feeling good about writing again. (Finally writing again, frankly.) 2K isn't an unattainable amount by any stretch of the imagination, it just requires some patience and the ability to say no to TV, no to kitten, no to friends dropping by for a few hours each day. It's only for a month, after all, and only for a few hours. And besides, TV is mostly wasting time anyways. Even if it's The Shield.
