NaNoWriMo Day 3

[sinanju]

Drove my lovely and talented wife to work this morning, then headed down to Eugene to retrieve Twoson. He spent the month of October there to help Oneson and DIL before and after the birth of Granddaughter, though he stayed with his dad. Now he's back here with us.

Yeah! Five hours in the car--woo! Well, five hours including a fairly quick stop in the McDonalds drive-thru to get a sausage biscuit, hashbrown and orange juice. I almost never eat at McDonalds, and never anything but the aforementioned items. But occasionally I just gotta have that sausage biscuit.

Then I drove down, collected the kid, and drove home, stopping to pick up some pork chops for dinner. Which Twoson cooked. Delicious!

I didn't get around to writing until late in the day due to my long-distance errand. I ended up writing 2,009 words, for a grand total of 7,155 words to date on the novel. Which still sucks. But which I am still intent on finishing. Today I made use of Dashiell Hammett's advice--when you don't know what else to do, have a man come through the door with a gun.

So I did. Well, actually, he was already in the room. Undercover. But he kick started something. Now the cops have arrived. We'll see how it goes.
