Out of the Gate

NaNoWriMo kicked off this morning at 12:00 am. I was actually awake for an unrelated reason, but decided to start anyway. I spent most of the evening battling a tooth ache/jaw pain (going to the dentist tomorrow) so I accomplished very little. Near the end of the evening I finally felt well enough to work on the first sections outline. As the clock changed to Nov. 1 I opened up my blank page and began writing. There were a few times when I started to second guess myself (a no no in Nano land) and had to remind myself that my internal editor needed to be shut off. I ended up with a little over the daily go before I called it a night (it wasn’t that late!) I am hoping to get some more writing in today but we will see how it goes. I haven’t knit much the last two days (yesterday and today) because of the pain, so again there is little to show you. Hopefully tomorrow brings some answers/ relief from the dentist and I can get back to being productive.

Are you participating in NaNoWriMo, or a variation on it (NaKniSweMo, NaBloPoMo)? What was your motivation behind it?
