I don’t know if I like my book idea anymore. I think this is a stage reached by most authors at some point. As I am writing, I keep asking if I have enough for a book here or if it wouldn’t be a better short story. I don’t know. I am going to plug away, though. I wrote a little today, despite not feeling like it. I’m done for now. I get so frustrated. I really want to write like some of these good books I’ve read lately, especially The Thirteenth Tale and The Ghost Writer, but I’m not happy with what I’m producing at the moment. On the positive side, I have exceeded 10% of my word count goal. I am hoping I will feel better next weekend and be able to write more. I think part of my problem right now is I just don’t feel well enough to write. Maybe what I need to do is lay lie down and read.

Flu
I think I have the flu. I have done nothing today except lay in bed and sleep, an event which was broken by intermittent bouts of coughing and blowing my nose. I didn’t do any writing today. I’m going to give it a try.

Day One
Day one of NaNoWriMo, and I feel pretty good. I have 2,390 words. I wrote the beginning and two other scenes that will come later on, but that I wanted to get down. I’m fairly pleased so far, and trying my best not to freak out and worry about whether it’s any good, although I did read it all to Steve, and he said it was good. Honestly, though, what’s he going to say?
The NaNo website is absolutely crawling today, though I suppose that’s to be expected. I uploaded a small excerpt of my book into my profile, but good luck trying to access it today. Maybe I’ll put some of it here. I’m on the fence about sharing a work in progress.
