NaNo day 9 & 10

Yesterday was one of those days I'd rather forget quickly. I got up very early after half a night's sleep, because I needed to get some concert tickets on the internet that went into a special pre-sale. I went back to bed afterwards, slept until lunchtime (phonecalls woke me up twice...), got up, got very little done, went back to bed, got up again, and somehow stayed up until 2AM. Which of course made me sleep in until a ridiculous hour today. Gah, my day/night rhythm is so messed up. I barely got 500 words in yesterday. I didn't feel like writing anything at all, either.

Today I still felt like a kitchen towel, if that makes any sense, but in the evening I finally did my home chores, sat down with a bottle of Coke Zero, plugged in my iPod, found a hilarious dare that let my imagination spark and started writing. It's nowhere near 25k yet, but we're getting there. And there are parts of my story I actually like. It should become more fun now, too, because I introduced a bunch of new characters. And dialogue seems to move me forward more quickly than description, so it's good that my MC is making some new friends.
