Life and NaNo

First order of the day: Shoot FedEx. First for the idiocy of priority overnight and residential deliveries. Second for making my brain short out by going to FedEx.com and seeing Denny Hamlin (when I swore "no NASCAR until 3:00", so as to expedite the writing process for NaNoWriMo).

Second order of the day: Strangle Nationwide for screwing up billing on my policy for my new car. They've called, they've stated various things about why I'm getting bills that don't equal what I'm supposed to pay, they can't come up with a reason why my bills are still going to the old address...heck, they can't explain why the math on the bills I'm being sent doesn't equal the rate they told me to pay!

Third order of the day: Ignore all of this and WRITE.

NaNo - it's off to a great start!

Well, NaNoWriMo is off to a great start. I wrote 500 words. 500 words in which I forced myself not to overthink the beginning, introduced characters, used quirky voice and set the stage for how they interact....

500 words that apparently the computer ATE WHOLE instead of saving to the disc.

*seethes*

The file? Says it's on there. I saved it as a Word document. In Word. Making sure I had that sucker saved right. And now, no matter what computer I go to, even the originating computer, it's not recognizing the file type or ANYTHING in the file.

Guess who gets to rewrite those 500 words! Woohoo! I was 1/3 of the way to my daily goal, but not anymore!
