First day of NaNoWriMo and everything that could go wrong did go wrong. First I realised things wouldn't work as they are with my story so I spent the morning rejigging the plot and rewriting notes, working on structure and blocking out scenes. Over 1,500 words of notes, but not a single word of prose. But it had to be done and there was still plenty of time. Well there was until I checked my emails and found that one of my accounts had been hacked by a Chinese spammer. So goodbye another time of chunk while I sorted that out. Then a parcel arrived, product no good, company in question claiming we had to pay a 30% restocking fee on returns, in other wordscthey expected us to pay a lot of money for no product. Sent a long time fuming and researching consumer rights. Swore a lot. A lot. Learnt my rights. Won't be paying any % of restocking fee that you very much. Swore some more.
In the end I only managed 664 words. Mood I was in I daren't add the other 2 words to that. Who knows what would have happened. So day one and I'm already behind, not a good start, but at least I have made a start for awhile it looked like I wouldn't.
Day 1: 664
