I will save a deeper topic for tomorrow’s blog because today has had a bit too much Monday going on. So I will simply celebrate that even though I’m a bit behind on where I should be in terms of average word counts towards the 50,000 goal, I am still putting in time every day on the novel/series, hence earning the Five Day Writing Streak badge, courtesy of Nanowrimo.org.

I took off from revising the past two days to work on the fresh draft of a new novel, which is still my favorite part of the writing process. Today I wrote two scenes where my protagonist (she of too many names) bumps into two of the suspects in this mystery. Mystery is a good word for it because I don’t know exactly what the mystery is (which may not work in the long run).

Yet for now it’s just fun to be surprised as I write to see what is going to happen next.
