…so I took a picture of my desk, for posterity. Sorry it’s shaky, my hands hurt too. My everything hurts.
- Mmm, beer.
- Somewhat-outdated-but-still-useful “Unofficial Guide to London,” because that’s where the scenes are right now
- Mac and cheese
- iPod with Genius mix based on Matt Nathanson’s “Come on Get Higher”
- Stack of unpaid bills
- “Real Pork Bloggers” mousepad from BlogHer.
- Laptop on cooling stand
- And pile of messy cables connecting it to new monitor (waiting on docking station to arrive) that is displaying not OneNote, but Tweet Deck.
Also on desk but not pictured:
- Unopened Netflix DVD, arrived Nov. 3
- “Telling Lies for Fun and Profit” by Lawrence Block
- Strunk and White’s “Elements of Style”
- Blackberry (is taking this shaky picture)
I have written one hundred and forty words in this post. Can I count that toward my daily total?

Thanks for taking the time to read it all and give me feedback! I’m normally pretty weird about letting people read anything I think is unfinished, but it’s given me a little confidence boost this time, knowing that I’m headed in the right direction with the plot and all.

I have that mousepad! (thank you, btw)
AND CONGRATULATIONS! I didn't even start. That's ok – I accomplished a lot of other things this month. Maybe I'll do my own NaNoWriMo in Jan. So like, JaNoWriMo. Or something.
It's early. I need coffee.

I cannot even imagine pulling this off with your crazy schedule. I’m one of those weirdos who clears a lot of the calendar in November, though…

Wow your desk looks pretty similar to my old one. I love that you mention things unpictured too!

I actually forgot to include:
"Writing Your Breakout Novel" (a surprisingly useful workbook)
"Notes from a Small Island" (Bill Bryson, on England)
And "the Writer's Digest Guide to Novel Writing."
The DVD, sadly, was "Back to the Future."

Not only did you make 50,000 words…you made 200 words OVER it AND before November 30th! That's impressive, my dear. Great, great job!

And there are only about 34,0000 words I want to keep, so I'm maybe a third of the way done with the whole story… sigh.
