NaMoWriMo Day 3 part 1

I am in the middle of Day 3.

I just did a little spreadsheet math to see the daily count of where I need to be, if I'm going to do this in 27 days. (30 minus our trip.)

And let's just pretend that I'm going to write on Thanksgiving and the few days that follow while los Cubanos are here for Thanksgiving, because I'm not sure how I'm going to succeed at this, anyway, without a little self-deception.

I am in the middle of Day 3 and only at 3495 words. Yikeroo. How do people do this and have, you know, jobs?

If you answer, I won't be able to look you in the eye, my head will still be gazing down at this screen...
