Down the Rabbit Hole
Day 1 stats:
1600 words (excellent, so far)
2 cups of coffee (well below life-threatening limit, good)
Number of minutes spent staring into space contemplating where this thing is going - several hundred (give or take a few)
Number of times I've doubted whether this was such a great idea - 24 (for just about every hour of the day - even in my dreams the Inner Critic haunts me)
Time spent finding this quote by Oscar Wilde (15 minutes):
"I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again."
That Oscar. He knows.

Good for you! Glad you're at least writing!! Hang in there - and keep everything you write, regardless of what your "Inner Critic" thinks. You may never do a single thing with any of it, but the very fact that you decided to do it and did it will encourage you on other things you want to do but wonder if you can.

Oh, this NaNoWriMo thing is a beast, isn't it? I was all proud of my word count on Friday (15,947 or something like that) and yet not writing over the weekend leaves me about 5K words in the hole today with NO motivation!!
I think I need an inner moose. Or maybe I just need MooseMunch!!! Oh, now that has me hungry...
