Title: Little Black Mess
Turns out, I’m writing a mystery. Who knew? Certainly not me. I didn’t write those words, I bled them. Slowly. Over hours of torture. But at least I got started and that seemed to be the hard part this time.

It’s not going well.
I’ve written roughly 230 words, but they have not been easy words. And I don’t like them.
I’m thinking of taking that “Jodi is very very very very very very cute,” story idea for myself.
NaNo Cam ON: Word Count = 0
I thought I would turn my webcam on while I wrote this afternoon. As you may, or may not, know, the daily average, to reach 50,000 by November 30th is 1667 words.
Wil got up early and did 1741 words. I’m very proud of him. His story is all about how cute I am and how much he loves me. No, it’s not. Although, I am sure it would be trés facile to write 50 thousand words on my cuteness. (Jodi is very very very very very very cute. I love her very very very very much. Because she is cute like the following: a butterfly, a kitten, a puppy, a swan, a dolphin, a baby, a baby bunny, a baby deer, a baby duck, a baby baby, oh did I mention baby already?)
I’m feeling apprehensive about my story because I do not have one yet. I have a feeling that the first 8,000 words might be my main character talking to herself. I might feel more positive had my 2007 NaNoWriMo shirt arrived. It shipped weeks ago. I don’t understand why it has to take SO LONG for items to ship from the States to Canada. We are like thisclose to each other.
Ah, well. I’m stalling. I’ve done dishes, I’ve read every blog known to webkind, I’ve read all my emails, including the junk mail. I turned on the webcam. I guess I’d better just get start.
