Back to the grind. I voted this morning. Man, our current mayor might be the cutest guy I’ve ever met in person. I swear, if he doesn’t win the election today, he should go into show business.

The cool thing is that because his opponent lives in my neighborhood, he was actually at my polling place this morning. As Mookie and I were leaving, I gave him a thumbs up to let him know I voted for him, and was rewarded with a HUGE smile and a wave. Ahhhhhh.

In novel news, the first 10k words was about 31 pages. I think the goal is to have 200 pages (well, the goal is 50,000 words, but…) so at 50k works, I’m on target for only 150 pages. I wonder what I’m doing wrong? I’m using 12 point fonts with 1 inch margins. Oh, and there is a lot of dialog, so you’d think I’d have MORE pages, rather than less. Oh well, I’m stopping that first file at 31 pages and putting chapter 4 (yea!) into a new file. I don’t want my Word files getting too big.

Woo baby! I’m done 20% of the goal! I have 10,275 words done as of this moment. I’m going to take a well-deserved little break to do some reading. Ahhh, it’s nice to be ahead!

Cool! A list of all the people blogging their novel writing experiences on Journalers NaNoWriMo.

Oh man, I’m getting a REALLY late start on my remaining 900 words. Crap. Oh well, I’ll do what I can. Thanks to Mr. Dump for giving Mookie his bath tonight. I’m at 9451

And yes, that is a smaller version of my webcam over there on the left. Too bad most of my writing is done at home when I’m not on camera. But it’s not set to reload. Go to the home page to see it update (if it’s on, that is.)

I’m tremendously excited to find a new source for good fireplace Screen Savers. The one making the rounds as shareware was kind of old and, well, not that great. I would actually like to commission someone to do a really good one for me, but I don’t think I know anyone who creates screen savers.

Anyway, I’ll be posting this link in the main page as well. I’m getting a LOT of hits these days from people looking for these.
