Two writing sessions.

3310 words today. Total 16005. That's more than a third of the way and we are only 5 days into the contest. Maybe I can take some time off at Thanksgiving. Let's see how writing the novel goes after I've spent a whole day writing dry user manuals. If my plot becomes suddenly very boring and technical 1/3 of the way through the book, y'all know why.

Some done over coffee in the morning. The rest in the past hour before turning in to bed. Sometimes it is really difficult to transition the plot into a new scene. Once it starts the momentum just pulls me. Some pre-planned plot details have changed; some because the logic just didn't work as it was, others because the characters just took a path of their own.

Interesting how writing works.
