I'm charting my daily progress on
NaNoWriMo. Since you may or may not care, I'll kindly hide it behind
a cut. Thanks for taking the time. :)

Notes:- Wrote quite a bit more of Zombie, finished Yesterday, added some to Waste, Vanish, and Quest. Not much in each case, but enough to set up the next bit, which furthers each plot.
- "Y Is for Yesterday" is complete, now, at 3688 words. It turned into a post-apoclypse survivors story like any number of movies, books, and probably video games and manga. Which means it's probably pretty blah. Maybe in the rewrite, I'll come up with an angle that isn't like every other one.
- I severely wrote myself into a corner in "Z Is for Zombie." I have to have the main character figure out how to steal a car without being noticed, and since I have no idea how to do this, neither does he. :)
- I will probably flit back and forth among all the unfinished stories as the urge takes me in the next three days, writing a bit until the notion strikes me to write on a different one.
- Unfinished stories: Anchor, Bard, Fangs, Haunted, Investigation, Moons, Oath, Quest, Skullcosm, Vanish, Waste, Xenolith, and Zombie.
- Today I worked on: Zombie, Yesterday, Waste, Vanish, Quest
- Interesting things I had to look up: How to steal a car, how the United Nations works.
