I'm using OpenOffice.org Writer, which thankfully has a Word Count function.

Yeah, I need to get over the feeling that I should be writing good stuff. I need to just come to terms with the fact that most of it is going to be junk, as NaNoWriMo is only about the quantity, not the quality. As it is, I'm still happy with some of what's coming out, but it is going very, very slowly. Only up to 1284.
