Day 4: I write more than usual

Today was a bit better. I wrote a ton (still not a very inspiring day, though.)

1. I finished yesterday's word count.
2. I passed the 10% mark and can now order some motivating Starbucks in one of those beautiful red holiday cups! (It's the first of my milestone rewards)
3. I made today's word count before bed (just 12 words shy of making it before midnight).

Enjoy the random excerpt, though, personally, I think the writing was terrible today:

The whistle pierced the blackness. Down the hall, to my left, I heard a call. It was an entire group of boys shouting one word: blood. With only a second's pause, a different group called out, including the boy above my head. They cried out the word sweat. Lastly, a differnt group of boys, voices flowing from the opposite direction of the first, called out in unision. No tears. Then there was a thud in front of me as my fellow bunker landed on the floor boards.

Please recall that these excerpts are (a) unedited and (b) random. But hey, that's the whole point of NaNoWriMo anyway.

Love,
Domi
