writing it out

Today is the beginning of National Novel Writing Month. I signed up and this morning I woke up at 5am and wrote 1,817 words. Not a bad start! I'm working on the fantasy novel. I have a shit-ton outlined but this morning I just let it go and let my mind take me where it wanted to go. My opening scene is different from what I thought it would be but I'm just going to let it happen. Im going to try to write more when I get home from work, get a jump-start on the word count.

Halloween weekend was good. I went to a party Saturday night and had a lovely time. I had a few great conversations, not just drunk banter/small talk. Good conversations are refreshing and necessary for me, for any sort of friendship.
