Quickie Update from NaNoWriMo and NaBeGroMo

So apparently, on day 3 of National Novel Writing Month, a whole bunch of people were done! What? You already wrote 50,000 words in three days? I'm no slouch, I'm no workaholic, and I could probably lay down 6,000 on a phenomenal day, that would be the max that I could do creatively and coherently. But 17,000 words in a day for three days straight? Doesn't that really take the fun out of it; shouldn't these people be signing up for National Novel Writing Week?

I'm at 6100 words out of 50,000 which is fine, I could be doing more, but I could certainly be doing less, like I had the first two days. Things are rolling now and I feel comfortable for the next few days with the plot that I need to lay down.

Also, I've decided to grow my "writin' beard" out during this month. Unfortunately for me, I hate facial hair, so we'll see how long this lasts before my girlfriend dumps me or I give in to the Gillete.

That's it. I've got time this week to work on this but things are going to get hairy later in the month when I need money and have to start working again. I've got to be at 8300 by the end of tonight.
