A wild NaNo ride

Well, what an adventure!  I scrapped my NaNo this morning and started over.  And I worked on it starting at about noon and it’s nearly 1 am, so I’ve been at this for about twelve hours or so.  I did take frequent breaks, pausing to drive to a friend’s house to see if I could get her cat to come out – I couldn’t.  I'm "kitty sitting for a friend but her cat won't leave the house so it is an exercise in futility.  And I took a break to watch Extreme Home Makeover and that PBS drama about the Amazing Mrs. Pritchard.  Hubby went to bed and I turned off the tv and I got back to work. 

At 5:00 I had 6811 words

At 7:00 - 8197

(I set it aside to watch tv for a while.)

At 10:00 - 8235

At 11:00 - 12511

At midnight I had 12946

And now I have 18492.

Most of the time since 10:00 pm has been mining passages from the first manuscript for the new outline.  It makes more sense the way I have it organized at the moment and I can sort out the rest of the organization issues in the next draft.  Ha Ha!  I feel a very renewed interest in this work and clarity about what all needs to be written yet.  I'm hoping to get seriously ahead of the curve tomorrow because this weekend is going to be a complete wash.
