In two days I wrote 3,337 words, exactly three words over and beyond the minimum of 3,334 needed (at 1,667 per day) to make it to my 50,000 word goal by 11:59 pm on November 30th. However, on this third day of the month, I have looked over those 3,337 words and found it all to be conspicuously egregious! (Well, those were Roary's words when he snorted near my ear earlier today. Unfortunately, I agree with him.) Now what? I have also thought of a two-part problem that may "fix" the faults before this novel runs into a ditch ... and I may be able to salvage some of what I've written. Probably a lot of it. Maybe. Gotta see what happens next. Gotta get busy writing.Today I have been inspired by Absolute Vanilla, who has discovered a thinking toaster who reflects its thoughts! Yes, indeedy, one must consider all angles when trying to write a novel. If an errant toaster is helpful, so much the better! And thanks again to Ab Vanilla for this idea: "Bonnie - there'd be a great children's story in the magic toaster with thoughts of its own..." I took a look at my toaster, painted white, and it doesn't seem to have a mind of its own at all. Oh, well.

Congrats!! I really wish I had the time to do this. Actually, I would probably chicken out. But I think it would be great. I can't wait to see what you've been writing!
You missed it Stephanie. I've been writing "conspicuously egregious" stuff, according to my writing partner Roary the Literary Lion of Lyon, found here:

I don't know who he thinks HE is. He hasn't been writing anything at all lately.
i'm here for a little cheerleading: go, bonnie, go! :o)
Congrats Bonnie!!! That sounds like real progress!
Keep going, Bonnie, and hope it's going well and that Roary has stopped roaring in your ear and is behaving in a more muselike fashion!
Good job with the wordcount! I haven't done NaNoWriMo, but I think you're supposed to just WRITE and let lions and/or other creatures critique/edit later!
