So I’ve completed my first day of writing as part of NaNoWriMo, and I’m now very excited to be taking part in what I’m sure will be an absolutely exhausting month of novelising.

I’m enjoying having the impetus to write without worrying overly about every little technical or factual nubbin.  I’m loving having the excuse to sit down and write rather than putting it off on the basis that I’ll never be able to finish it anyway.

I’m also very aware that tomorrow’s 1,667 words will be a hundred times harder to write, and that there will be days where I simply can’t fulfil my writerly obligations.

In the spirit of sharing, here’s some words from the first two pages of my novel:

• smacked
• whitebait
• mysterious
• scholar
• dyed
• bundle
• disappointed
• hugging
• temple
• merchantile
