The program went GREAT, and a huge weight has been lifted off me. It's been replaced by exhaustion and why-isn't-it-Friday-yet, but I'm very proud of how well the kids did. And my narrator showed up.

I was wondering yesterday, what if I'd chosen another book to write for Nano? Would I be as excited about it? Would I be as eager to keep up the pace? When I chose this book, I didn't know anything about it except the characters, and even one of those was hazy. Yet every day I can't get to the book fast enough. While some days those 2000 words are hard to find, mostly they aren't. And while I had a few scenes sketched out beforehand, I have even more now. (And I didn't use a lot of those original scenes.) The book will need a lot of work when it's done, but I love it, and I didn't think I would.

How sad is it, though, that I'm disappointed in myself for having red on my graph for yesterday, even though I'm still ahead of the game and I worked for 12 hours??

Now, can I write the love scene before school? Should I even try?
