Thanksgiving
Nov. 23rd, 2007 07:58 pmYesterday, I went to San Rafael for Thanksgiving dinner with Jeffrey's family. I brought "Wordplay" and got them all to watch it. (
rpipuzzleguy, my paternal grandfather's reaction to the shot of your fingers pounding away at the keyboard was, "He's a MAN!") I got to see Tessie, which was awesome. She's really growing up.
Between hackeysacking in the street and eating Tofurky, I did manage to get my daily wordcount written for NaNoWriMo. I'm a few hundred behind target, but I'll catch up after Amanda and Ken leave next week; right now, I'm just trying not to fall further behind than I already am. The last words I wrote last night, bringing me up to 36,000 even, were: "The Office of Admission explodes." Bitterness from last year's rejections, perhaps? It must have been subconscious, because I didn't think of it like that until after I'd written the scene. Amusing, nonetheless.
Also, and this is the most important part of this entry, I am writing this on my laptop in my room. Yes, we have wireless! Actual, working wireless!
But I am going to be good, and leave the web-surfing alone until I've written my 1667 words for today.
