Day 14
Today my weekly trip to Jefferson City wore me out, so I ended up getting a late start and was all bracing myself to fall short, but no, I pulled it out. I'll definitely have to stick with it tomorrow so I can reach the halfway point on schedule.
BTW, little PSA in case anyone else is using the NaNoWriMo site: when I signed up I set my time zone, and it didn't automatically adjust for the end of Daylight Savings Time. Since I tend to get my daily bit done and submit the new word count between 11 and midnight, it was counting me as a day late. I will try not to let it get that down to the wire on the 30th, but if it came to that and I hadn't caught the problem, yeah...
Anyway, in today's installment, Tamahome is depressed because Miboshi is a bastard. And you might know from the beginning how this is going to end, but when Internal Critic tried to say that made it a useless exercise, I didn't think so anyway. (Characterization and stuff! Tamahome deserved to get a scene.)
( Daily Cut... )
PS: The way Chichiri talks is another thing I wouldn't do again, at least not without some ground rules that could keep it both reasonably consistent and moderated to a manageable level (say, only simple declarative sentences), but it was already so well established, I'm stuck with it.
