***Reaching for the stars...or 50k***
Significant progress in my NaNoWriMo wordcount goals last night, garnering over 3k during a couple of Word Wars over at the Forward Motion chat. While much is utter cr@#, the pages provide a lot of background info that I've been biting the bit to incorporate for some time.
By the by, here are two excellent posts on writing by author Crawford Kilian:

Are You Comic or Tragic?

Plot in Science Fiction

***Progress, not perfection***
Wrote both on Friday and Sunday night at the coffeeshop. The latter was a bit frustrating: I lost 500 words due to Microsoft Word and spent way too much time trying to figure out why I couldn't connect to the Internet on my laptop. (Turned out to the connectivity problem in the cell. A technician had been dispatched.)

Still, I garned over 5k of words pushing me within a thousand words of 40k. I should be able to stay on track and pass 50k by the 28th which is way before the deadline.
