I can't seem to paste anything into the word counter.

Neither can I. They must have issues to overcome. I think they must always be overwhelmed right at the start.

Oh, okay. Glad I'm not the only one having difficulties.

Na no wri mo, cee vee san? No sur no dis tam fo mi.

Maybe nes tam.

From what I understand, the word counter won't be turned on until the end of the month. I the meantime, I had to download a word counter as TextEdit doesn't come equipped with such.

Hmm, I've got a long way to go still . . .

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.

Yeah, I was going to continue with a story I had started a couple of weeks ago, but changed my mind. I care too much about that one. So, this morning I started something else with the intent to just go. . .whatever comes out is what the story will be.

In the end, good story or not, if I can reach 50,000 words it'll be quite an accomplishment, and it'll give me the confidence that I can actually write that much on a singularly cohesive subject.
