Yaaarrrr (in a piratical voice)

Chuffed. Three odd hours into day one and I'm at 1,136. :)
So now to bed.

Hellion.

Synopsis: Hellion

Far from the hustle and bustle of London, way to the west of the madding crowd lies Hellion, a Cornish village that has almost magically remained apart from the modern world. The Hellion Arms has been run by Moon's for generations. Now, though seldom seen, Talek Moon is the landlord and the pub run by Kenver, his son.

A strained meeting with the family solicitor and a wax sealed envelope
gifts Digory Olver with news he has inherited his great aunt’s
cottage in Hellion, a place he can barely remember from his childhood.

Excited at his windfall, Digory sets off for Cornwall. But
the nearer he gets to Hellion the stranger he begins to feel.

gotta get it together

I have to write, write and write some more. I can't end today too far behind as it becomes the slippery slope to doom, gloom and tears.

Damn, if only this cough would let up for a few hours. It's bloody miserable. Miserable I tell 'ee! Yargh!

4839

Yep, I'm supposed to be at 4839 - and by the end of today (4th day) at 6452. And where am I? 1169. Am I disillusioned? Well, yes I am. Quite as disillusioned as I was last year, and the year before that, too. BUT I will prevail! I will kick ass and type words until I am screaming ahead of the pack.

Word! :)

stuck in the phlegm,

It's not that I can't write, I Can. Yet this bloody phlegmy flu is taking all of my energy and leaving my mind totally vacuous.

The clock is just about to herald the 2nd Nov and my word count is a poxy zero.

Fuck!

A brand new NaNo for 2009!

Excited though I am at the thought of November the first and the 'off', I still haven't a clue as to what I'm going to write. Not the vaguest idea and only a week left to have an idea in ... if you see what I mean.

By this time last year I'd almost completed an outline (the holy grail of serious authors whose names begin with 'C'), and 'twas a good outline and worthy.

Ah well. C'est la vie.

Lots of new people are taking part this year. Marty, BK, Rose, Alisa, Kapitano to name but a few. Hopefully, with all the egging on that'll be available 2009 will be a breeze ... yeah, right! ;)

Upwards and onwards.
