A Day Behind

Recipe for falling a day behind in Camp NaNoWriMo:

• Have your air conditioner go out on Friday and struggle, valiantly and successfully, to meet your word count, but feel the effort exceeded the product.
• Go to work on Saturday morning.  An event in the morning is one of the most surefire ways to fall behind.
• Come home with a headache, a six on the headache scale with spikes toward an eight, which doesn’t go away until 10 pm.
• Talk yourself into forgiving yourself, i.e. not making yourself write two days’ worth and just pushing Camp NaNoWriMo farther out into July.  Camp can last all summer, right?

I’ve begun Chapter Seven, which is called “Zort” after a scientific research company but secretly after one of Pinky’s favorite expressions from Pinky and the Brain.  Perhaps “Narf” will feature later in the series.  It sounds like the name for secret police or a narcotic.
