nanowrimo status

2662 words! i think i am either at the end of chapter one, or the break in the middle of chapter one, depending on how i want it to go.

so far, i’ve introduced the major woman character along with her basic stats, her current circumstances, her motives, and some of her personality traits, three minor supporting characters, and the very first major plot point. yay!

bay wolf

we went to bay wolf last night for dinner. we were seated promptly, treated courteously, and had a very tasty meal. we had a duck liver flan appetizer that was extremely silky and airy, followed by pork loin for seppo and more duck for me. the duck was indeed delicious, as i had read it would be. for dessert, seppo had a persimmon pudding and i had a chocolate souffle cake and a small pot of earl grey. the consistency of the cake was amazingly similar to the duck liver flan, very airy and smooth. seppo commented that the cake was exactly like the alton brownies that i make. heh. all in all, a great meal for a very good/reasonable price, although i think i was expecting to be more awed. i think i would like to go back during a different season, maybe in the summer when the veggies and fruits are drastically different from those that are in season right now.

i spent a little time last night starting the nanowrimo onemola (one month late) last night, after midnight. i am up to 472 words. i’ll need to have three more bursts of writing today. i’ll squeeze one in during lunch.

some of seppo’s presents shipped! yay. now i will proceed to torture him for almost a month.

nanowrimo progress meters

i added a meter on the right, under my profile. it’s functional, but i’m not sure how i feel about the way it fits into the look of my website. this link is yet another way i am keeping track of my progress. let’s see how it looks.
