I ended up getting to work an hour before I had to be there, so I sat in my car and thought about my story. Also wrote about 130 words. Wasn’t sure if I was going to write any tonight, but then Mark wrote some and got up to 9404. I know languishing at 4100 wouldn’t help me beat him while I am off tomorrow, so I wrote another almost 1k. My total is up to…

Nevermind. I wrote some more. 1235 today bringing me up to 5302 total. Yesterday Lily dropped Calc and picked up 3D Design (art) and she is working on a really cool project. Plus she has her sketch book to work on. So I haven’t gotten to Dirk’s kids yet, but she will have to write at least once about babysitting.

Ooh, one of my NaNo buddies has 5382 right now? I can go do another 100 or so…

Okay, 5509 and that’s really it for today. 225 short of the 1667 daily goal, but thanks to yesterday I’m 500 ahead overall. So that’s still good. Lily babysat for Dirk (his daughter Kaitlyn is 10, John is 3, and Dirk’s wife is Maddie). It’s all good.

Gotta add some conflict. Now that she dropped math, I have to go back and fill in all the dark stuff about her dad. How the heck did he die anyway?
