Let's Do This Thing!

Hello Fellow NaNoWriMo-ers!

My prompts will be a "first sentence", (the first sentence IS the prompt)

He hadn't seen anything like it in twenty years of teaching, and that was saying something! First, there was the penguin incident. Then, the Fracking incident. Now, there was a huge boulder, lying on half of his class. Crap. How I am going to explain this to the parents? He looked over the carnage. 10 dead, maybe 5 injured? The rest were eerily silent, with placid looks on their faces. He sighed, and went back to teaching. 

"Now, who knows the difference between metamorphic and igneous rock?"

Happy writing to everyone!

What this Blog is all About!

Hello everybody!

I'm creating this blog so that I can keep track of my progress during National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. It's really more for my sake than for yours, but feel free to enjoy this!

Basically, here's how my daily posts will be formatted. Before I start on my writing for the day, I'll write a quick piece, using a prompt that I'll find on the internet, and write a paragraph or two as a warm up. This won't be edited, so it's going to have errors in spelling, punctuation, word use, etc. Just ignore it, if you can. Then, starting on day two, I'll be copying and pasting my favorite excerpt from the previous day's writing. (The titles of my posts will be references to either my quick prompt or my excerpt.) I will then say what I accomplished the previous day, and what I hope to accomplish that day.

So, feel free to keep checking up on my progress. Or don't. It's up to you.

Thank for reading!
