2000 words and counting...

and I'm off on my NaNoWriMo adventure!

2002 words so far, to be precise.

Are they deathless prose? Gawd, no. In fact, I'd like to kill off paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 6-22, and possibly 23-31.

But I won't. Because that's the point of NaNoWriMo - to write laughably awful prose together with nearly 90,000 others in the spirit of fun, encouragement, and "getting the darned thing down on paper" while pointing and laughing at our Inner Editors and scarfing enormous quantities of cookies.

I'm so excited I am almost giddy. Onward and upward, word count!
