NaNoWriMo Checkin, Day 5

On the one hand, I still made a solid word count today. Two days in a row I haven’t quite made the target (1666), but at 1490 added today, I have passed the 10k mark (1/5), and all in all am pleased with my progress. The story is coming along, and I’ve just started to introduce the first apparent antagonist of the novel (like in real life, there are the antagonists  and the folks we think are the antagonists  and its all really a question of perspective). I can’t say that this version of the story is the one I’d want to send out, but the words are down and forming the story, so I’m pleased.
