And here you thought I quit. Fear not, I just went to Canada for the weekend - probably not the best idea in the middle of an intense NaNo-ing month - but it was planned before I committed to NaNo. I brought my laptop along with me, all set to type away the four hours spent in the car and make great headway on my autobiography. However, apparently typing in moving vehicles doesn't have the best effect on my stomach so, less than 250 words in, I was calling it quits. Long story short, I came back from Canada completely exhausted and more than 5000 words behind my goal.

Yet, here I am today, almost 1000 words ahead of my daily goal. (Thank God, since the overwhelming, super-stressful part of college is quickly approaching.) I'm not quite sure how it happened, but it did, and I'm excited about it. Jackie and I went to a very Ithaca cafe in the Commons today for a change of venue to NaNo. I've decided it's something that isn't quite as necessary for an autobiography as for a piece of fiction, but it was nice nonetheless. I like the atmosphere of cafes - very conducive to novel-writing.

Looking forward to Staying Up Until the Sun Comes Up!
Expect some craziness then, if not sooner.
