[Lilli is feeling NO WORD JEALOUSY. AT ALL. PERIOD. ZIP. ZERO. Srsly. Lilli is not allowed to feel word jealousy. 'Specially right now.]
I'm finally into double-k digits. 11.2k-ish, and I'm hopefully going to write more today... I want to get to at least 2k total for today, so about 2-300 more words to go, and probably more because I actually know somewhat where this next scene (and the one after that) are going. My plot issues are somewhat fixed! For... y'know... the next two scenes. >.< I'm really glad, though--I finally took people's advice, tweaked it, and had a magic elemental wreak havoc in my MC's workplace. Not only did I discover something of the magical entities/creatures/what-have-you in my world (apparently magic elementals are teh sooper scareh), but the effects of the attack managed to tie together the main plot and the beginning of an important subplot. (Ooh, I feel all writerly, saying awesome writerly stuff like that...!) So, yay, I like NaNo.
Also, elements of government red tape are creeping into my world. I'd had no idea the paperwork/status/restrictions/regulations involved for people with special abilities like my MC and one of my favorite secondary characters (which, actually, I totally love all my secondary characters, so that's actually saying something!). Also the perks. Like a better paycheck and competitive job offers. (But lots of paperwork, so life sucks for them sometimes.
)
Squeeeeeee.... I'm sooooo excited about my story again.
I've missed this feeling. I had it before NaNo started, but it's been a little... shall we say... *not present* this past week or so.
And I *still* do not have word envy. Nope. Not at all.
ETA: NOT ENOUGH HAPPY SMILIES.
THERE. YOU'RE WELCOME.
