I hope that you all are having a great NaNoWriMo so far. I know that I am. I'm really enjoying my novel and it's going along pretty well. Granted, I'm moving a lot slower than I was last year. Last year I was well past the 50,000 mark at this point (I don't know how, but somehow I was), but I am still in a comfortable position at just over 18,000 words so I'm feeling pretty good right now.
Today, though, I don't have anything going on, which is incredibly nice. Instead of having a whole bunch of things that I have to do piled on top of each other and me trying to squeeze a half hour of writing into the craziness of my schedule, I can relax and just write, maybe even have a 10K day that I've been dying to have. I don't know if that's going to happen today, but I'm hoping it does. It's not a NaNoWriMo without one of those.
In fact, I encourage all of you that are reading this to find some time in the next few weeks and just go for the 10K, it doesn't matter if you make it or not because just trying will help you catch up/get ahead. Plus it's a lot of fun and it's very rewarding. So try that and let us know how it goes!
In Random Genre Month news, every day we're moving a little closer to Random Genre Month. A reminder that the genre picking is December 1st. It's coming up quickly on us and I hope that you're all ready for it!

Jack
