I have hit a roadblock at the write-in, so this is a good time to update my past NaNo logs. The last two days have been tragically slow. All the procrastination I have been diligently fighting off won last night and is proving to be a worthy opponent. So, without further ado...

NaNo log: Gamma
So I am way behind on my NaNo blog updates, but am *not* way behind on my NaNo word count. I am currently at 12,128 words! Woot! The standard model of 1,667 words a day would put me at 10,002 and 11,669 by the end of today. My goal, however, is 2k words a day. I have adhered to that thus far. Today, though, I have only written a little over 100 words. That means I have to write 1900 words tonight. Yeeeaaah. I may have to engage in some word wars with friends on AIM.
Anywho, here it is. NaNoLog from 11/03:

14:06 lunch break. writing!

Rock the Vote
So I voted today, yay me. But I had to stand in line for 4 hours.
I can be very patient, but 4 hours is too much. I was prepared for 2 hours, maybe two-and-a-half. After three hours I felt it in my shoulders, legs, feet and stomach. At 3 1/2 hours my patience had run out. And I started losing my mind. Finally, after 4 hours my votes had been cast and I walked out of the library just a little toasty and made it to the NaNo kick-off party an hour late.
I am glad I voted, for the first time I might add, but for the rest of time I will do absentee ballot.
