Wishing the NaNoWriMo crowd well as November kicks off

I admire (and, in a way, envy--and, in still another way, envy not) those of you who have embarked upon NaNoWriMo this year, whether you be seasoned NaNo veterans or first-time participants.  I've never done NaNoWriMo myself and have little hope that I'll ever muster the motivation and energy.

I commented to Keiliss that I can't see myself waving pom-poms and therefore I ought to wave something pom-pom-like.  Since i want to offer my support to you all, here is the official Huinish equivalent of pom-poms.

Godspeed!

Thank you! This was much needed. (My motivation and desire to write has been up and down all day. Fine while I'm writing; gone otherwise.)

1024 words, with more to come after I eat dinner.

I'm glad if it could help a bit. And if you're going by the daily word count goals I've seen people set down, then you're much closer to the end than to the start!

(Haha, your icon...though if I did do NaNo, it would likely be replete with dark lords..)

Minimum goal is 1667 words per day. I'm now at 1692 and done for the day. I'm normally one day ahead on the first day, but I'm just not feeling it this year. (Might be because I'm in the mood to write hurt/comfort, and the novel's about as far from that as something non-fluffy but still sweet can be.)
