Doing it and over-doing it

I hit the first 10,000 word mark on the NaNoWriMo challenge yesterday. It seems to be going much easier this year. I feel really excited about how the story is coming together and I feel like I have a shot at hitting the 50,000 words. I do know, however, that the mid-way mark is lurking ahead, when the painfully slow writing starts. So I am charging ahead, but at the same time I feel like I am speeding towards the scene of an accident.

On a positive note, I've reached the point where the Halloween candy is starting to gross me out. I went the whole day yesterday without one single nibble.

Whew. Thank God that's over. Until the Christmas cookies...
