NaNo update: 25K

Halfway. I'm halfway to 50,000 words. I'm still behind where I should be by about 6,600 words but I am catching up. Also, I gave up last year at around 25K due to no-income induced panic. But this year, even though my fiscal/career situation leaves a lot to be desired, I'm eager to carry on writing and succeed at... er... writing a crap novel in a stupidly short space of time. Hey, if I achieve that goal I get a little electronic certificate thingie. That's gotta' be worth it.

Plot-wise, it's all gone a bit strange in the sense that nothing strange has happened for about 10,000 words. I've been filling out some of the protagonist back-story, y'see, banging on about a wonderful relationship he had that went all pear-shaped. Oh, I did take a brief break from my hero's love-life to skip ahead to a juicy violent bit 'cause I was getting bored.

But now I've got some of the character's history out of the way I think it's time to push forward with the nasty weird bits of the story. Don't you?
