Off to a good start!

Well!  The first day of NaNoWriMo and I'm off to a decent start!  I've written 2,255 words for my story today, which is 589 words more than I needed.  It really doesn't matter how many words I write a day, as long as I write an average of 1,666 to accomplish the 50,000 word goal by the end.  I bet it will be difficult to find time to write on some days due to whatever, so writing over the daily goal is probably a good thing.  I'd love to write more tonight, but after my English lesson with a co-worker and getting ready for work related things for tomorrow I don't think I'll have enough time.  It's already near 9 and I tend to be in bed by 10.  I wish I was (were? I can never remember this rule...) the type that could run on no sleep. Then I could probably get everything accomplished!  Perhaps my real problem is that I have too many interests and there simply aren't enough hours in the day to support them all. ^_^
So far on the first day, I've found that my friends' progress in NaNoWriMo is a big motivator to write more.  On the website there is an option to befriend other people also involved in the project, and if they update their status you can see how many words they've written and what percentage they have finished.  The competitive side of me wants to stay ahead, so as long as my friends are writing and updating, I'll probably be able to get motivation and inspiration from them as well as from myself.

As of now I don't think it's good enough to post any of the 2,255 words that I've written, but I'd like to post a short sample here sometime this month so keep a look out!

Hello November!
