Fizzle of a start

As I write this NaNo is less than 12 hours in, but I've only got around 1,200 words. Usually the 1st day is 6-8k. :(

It's hard writing in a new genre, and I'm writing in 3rd near POV, with multiple characters. I've got two main characters mapped out pretty well (the men), a little of one of the women, and nothing except for a name for the 3rd. Grrr...

Well, back to the millstone. I've got the kids this weekend, so I'm free to write until the littlest comes toddling home. Then it's off to the (non-writing) races! Well, parks.
