On NaNo Words (Versus Writing a Book)

Broke 35,000 today, then pushed another 500 words out in the last five minutes. It's hard for me to write in NaNo-ese sometimes. The urge to make the plot move forward is gummed up by my need to make my numbers. And while the descriptions are great, and eventually a lot of them will find their way into the book, it's sort of like filling a balloon with soap bubbles in order to later consolidate them into a bar of soap.

It's like that.

But it's do darn fun filling that stupid balloon!
