Just a quick note to let my supports know that I am keeping up with my writing. I am up to 13,605 words, and have completed 6 chapters of Wolf Cub. If you'd like to follow along as I write it, you can check it out at http://novel-wolfcub.blogspot.com/.
The posts are first round, non-edited, chapters. So minor things will change as I go along and once completed, I will go back and edit it. Feel free to email me suggustions, edits, or thoughts on the chaptes you read. I may not apply them until after NaNo is over, the end of November.
Suprisingly, I am about half-way in the word counts of most contestants. Not where I would be if I had started writing on the first, and not as far back as many people are.
For some reason, and I didn't care enough to ask, Austin NaNo contestants are called Penquins. First time writers in the Austin area go into a "hatchery" and are adopted by someone who had won NaNo in the past. It's nice to have someone to discuss it that has gone through it. But a little depressing when I see he has almost twice the word count I do. But I guess it wouldn't be very encouraging to be paired with someone just not making it either.
Oh well, I am up at the crack of dawn for a reason, and it's not to blog. So off I go to never, never land.

Hey! Don't feel bad... my wordcount is slowly dwindling away and I don't think you are that much behind me anymore. My novel is not going where I wanted it to at all. I just hope to survive Week Two without falling completely behind!
