First Day of NaNo!

Yippee! It's started! And I have exactly 1,372 words written. I started last night, right after midnight and wrote about 700, got maybe 6 hours of sleep, and have now written the rest. I must flee to school now, but at least I'm mostly done for today. =D

Ooh, and I've finished Jane Eyre. So that's quite a relief. I just have 2 more chapters of Little Women, then I'm going to read Historical Fiction until I cannot stand the genre anymore. XD I'm hoping to find some short books that are about the Civil War but I can't spend alot of time reading.

Anyway, so I'm fairly happy with what I've written. I'm so much of a perfectionist, so no-editing is hard for me. I hate writing things I'm not satisfied with...Oh well. =P

Congrats on getting so much written already on day 1! My non-NaNo novel that I've been working on for years is set during the Civil War, so I have way more research stored up about that period in history than is even sane. LOL So if you have any questions that you don't want to take the time to look up, feel free to PM me on CP and I might just be able to help. I'm a major history buff. My NaNo is historical, too, only it's set during WWII--so maybe we can form a historical fiction support group this month!

Thanks Eowyn! I think I'll take you up on that offer some time. I haven't really developed my plot fully yet, but I guess it comes as I go along. I'll probably have to do major editing on historical facts in December though. XD. That'd be really neat - a historical fiction support group. We could maybe do that... =)
