Day 1 Word count: 3961

I pounded out almost 4,000 words today. I'm off work this week, so I can spend a little more time than I normally would on it (barring temporary insanity, I'd usually be asleep by now--11:00 PM--since I show up at work around 5:45 in the morning). So far, it's been a surprisingly good experience. Two pages a day is going to be doable, assuming I set aside the time for it. I wrote two scenes, and ended up introducing three characters to the story--the protagonist, his drug-addicted brother, and his therapist. I honestly don't expect anything to come of the novel, but I'm hoping it might help kick-start the creative process and lead me to do something I might actually want people to read. If you're interested, here's a link to my author profile at the NaNoWriMo website.
