I'm surprised the knock knock joke didn't make it into your stray observations.

How've you been holding up? Are you currently on pace? Behind? ahead? How was your first week?

I think, for many, they jump into nanowrtimo without a care in the world, assuming banging out a book is not anymore difficult than reading a novel, something to do over the course of a week or two.

I'm focused on both. On one hand I am working towards getting my first novel finished by crapping on the page. This is more to get the thoughts on the page so i can go back and work with an outline.

I past 6.8k last night. Going to try and hit 10k today. I realized that i might not be able to finish in under 50k so I am forcing myself to make my goal 60 or 70k, its going to be a rough ride.
