I thought I was going to fall further behind today, but I got going and actually made up some of my shortfall, so I'm happy. ^_^

Worked more on flyfall today and am moving forward slowly but surely. At this point I'm writing down what I "see" happening, for lack of a better plan, but I am a bit unsure of it because it's... Well, it's like that moment in Rurouni Kenshin when Kaoru and Yahiko are looking for Kenshin and start chasing Aoshi, and Misao is looking for Aoshi is chasing Kenshin, and they pass each other in the street and don't notice (which I'm not criticizing, BTW, especially with the music cue I've always thought that was a legitimately powerful moment), but it's that kind of thing only it goes on for thousands of words and I hope it won't just be agonizing for a reader. But even so, this isn't time to worry about that stuff.

I also started the Natsume Yuujinchou thing over from the beginning, and it's taking on a new shape I didn't quite expect, but it remains interesting and sometimes comes together in ways that just feel right, and now I've got my canon-compliance issues, well, as taken care of as they're going to be (since I haven't watched the whole series yet, have actually only got through season 1, it's kind of a leap of faith or a jumping of the gun, whichever way you want to look at it).

But yeah, earlier today I was thinking "oh, maybe this isn't my year to do it," but the way today ended up, it still could be.

I am keeping my guard up if it's not, tho, against the perverse disincentive of "oh, I'm not going to win Nano now, so what's the point of writing today?" The point of writing is the writing, and as sparkly as Nano is, such things can get in the way of the real point if you're not careful.
