NaNoWriMo Day 3: A Good Start to National Novel Writing Month

It's day three of NaNoWriMo and I have written 3,606 words, which is 7% of the 50,000 word total. Today I have at least 1,667 more words to write on the third chapter (day) of Midnight in Suburbia. I call each day's writing effort a chapter because it helps me focus on what comes next. I suspect that the first two chapters I've written would be better in on chapter, but I don't have to worry about that until December when I start editing the document.

fifty thousand words
written one-day-at-a-time
the focus is clear

I've had a good start to the month even though I started each day off slowly. It's winter and I don't like to start before sunrise. This means I have to get up, turn the alarm off, turn the computer on (I have to get the virus check over before I start working), take my medication, and snuggle under a blanket for a little bit while say prayers and meditate. Then I get up, warm some coffee up in the microwave, put a fresh carafe to brew (writing 1,667 words a day require fuel), start the washing machine or dry last night's laundry, and get to work.
