As expected my family crashed my first day of National Novel Writing Month, and dragged me away from the computer, so I didn't get in all the time I wanted at the keyboard. I also had to work at this silly thing they call a day job. But I knocked out 1580 new words on Twenty-One before midnight, so I'm pretty happy, all things considered.
While I was writing I was reminded of the reason I rarely go back to work on partial stories I've done in the past; it's difficult to pick up where my head was when I left off; that shows in the writing. I think it was a bit easier with this one because I've been haunted by Nex's character for the last three years. She's always been a little ghost in the back of my mind whispering "Hey, finish me."
Added: Up on the toolbar there I put a link for Twenty-One, so if you want to read along and follow my progress just click on that.

I agree. Nex needed her story told.
Do you post your story on NaNo every day? Are you supposed to? I thought we just upload it at the end, but now, I'm just confused.
And I got up to snow on the ground yesterday because it snowed starting Thursday afternoon and finally stuck.
You can update your story wordcount on the NaNo site by clicking that little plus sign at the top. It opens a little update window.
I just sent you my thoughts on your first chapter, btw. :)
