I started around 12:02 am after I talked to my dad for a few minutes and then updated my status on Facebook and Twitter. I had my iPod ready and my word doc already open to a blank page ready to write. I had four different openings that I had been debating for the last couple of days but when I started writing it seemed to just work it's self out. Then around 1:20 my brain started to go and shortly after my iPod battery died. Still I pushed on because I wanted to make sure that I wrote until at least 2 or I reached 2,000 words since my goal was to do 5,000 the first day.
I made it but I am a little scared of what I might have written that last half hour :). I reached 2 am and I topped out at 2458 words for my two hours. I then went to update my NaNo word count, Facebook and Twitter and even though I should have been powering off my computer I scrolled down to read others word counts. I saw that jsights said last year she did 10,000 the first day. Being that she was my mentor last year I now think I should work to get the same number or higher.
With that I am upping my goal for the day. 10,000/12,000 I think I can do it but not if I don't get any sleep. And with that I am off to bed. Talk to you later today.
