I'm at about 3,500

Been writing on my lunch hour. I'm a copy editor, so it's my nature to want to self-correct. But too much of that and you're cooked, man. It's basically a diary of the houses I've lived in, and I am giving myself permission to have it suck. And it does, predictably. Yet I am churning, and I'm hoping this will get my creative juices flowing enough to write something that DOESN'T suck.

Look at you going to town! See, it's easier than it looks if you turn off your inner editor! It really does get you in a good writing habit by the end of the month...

I just stumbled on this blog. I'm doing NaNo too (username fabulascribe), and I have a character who is a copy editor. I've been planning to find a copy editor who might let me ask a few questions about exactly what that entails and what sort of education/experience he would need to have to be hired for the job. Would it be ok if I asked you those questions? You can PM me on the NaNo site if it's ok. Thanks, and best of luck!!
