This bat needs a calendar

Before I get to the NaNoWriMo update:

So, my mom and I were driving home from Target yesterday, and a BAT slammed into our windshield. I mean, dead-center, literally flew into the windshield and scared the living daylights out of us. My mom stayed on the road, but I screamed like an idiot - I mean, BAT. Thing was, this would have been insane if it had happened on Halloween, rather than the day after it.

Okay, back to NaNoWriMo.

So yesterday was the first day of NaNoWriMo, and I wrote a grand total of 6,875 words (go me!) Trouble was, a good portion of that was really sucky because I shifted into another character's point of view and it was waaay awkward, and even granted NaNoWriMo standards of bad writing I was feeling bad.

Fortunately, today I LOOOOVE my story and I'm having a ridiculously fun time writing it. I currently have 11,013 words and am going strong... So we'll see how this goes. I only need 3,334 words by the end of today, so I'm WAY ahead of schedule.

And as for an update on what my characters are currently up to, right now they are being attacked by some mobsters in a car wash.

I love NaNoWriMo.
