1,809 words!

First: *shakes fist at weird slow internet*

Second: I am officially on the NaNoWriMo board, with a grand total of 1,809 words that were rather forcefully expelled from my fingertips very late last night.  My goal was 2,000 words per day, and I am pleased to have gotten fairly close to that.  If I purge myself of 2,200 words today, I'll be back on track.  If I still intend to make it to 50,000 I'd have to manage nearly 4,000 words per day from now until the 30th, and I think that may be a level of crazy I'm just not able to achieve at this point, but if I can get halfway there, to 25,000 words, I think I'd be able to live with myself.  

Third: It's...ORIGINAL FIC!!  I bit the bullet and decided to make my NaNo project something not-fanfic.  Mostly.  It's kinda got zombies in it, but I'm making up my own mythos and rules about it, so I think I'm good.  And I've got a ton of characters and several supposedly-interconnecting storylines to work with to help keep writer's block at bay.  Woot!
