slipjig3I am going to try very, very hard not to turn this LJ into All NaNoWriMo, All the Time during November, but as it's the first day, I do feel obligated to report on progress at least a wee bit. So:
* Word Count: 1873 Yes, I'm ahead of the game. No, I won't get used to it. Still trying to decide whether to count the words in the Milton quote I'm using for the epigraph.

rubian77 (thanks again!), and (b) a sign reading "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND WRITE" taped to the cubbies (rafaela points out that I neglected to include the word "bitches" at the end). They are serving me well.

And the opening scene was one I knew would be problematic for some people, although it's necessary to kick off the events that follow. That said, there were one or two bits that made me go, "Jeeeeezum crow...."
