The NaNo website is so freaking slow that it's not really possible to do anything meaningful there. Just clicking on the forums link take too long for me to wait (being an American and all). And speaking of slow, I am now at a whopping 348 words! If nothing changes for today, that puts me at an almost 3k word deficit!
Can you say awesome?
It's not helping that I only have the vaguest idea of a plot and a smattering of the characters. So much for being more prepared this year (although, to be fair, life has been a fucking roller-coaster of misery lately, so I'm not really beating myself up here). It's also not helping that, since the office got rearranged, there are no empty spaces for me to hide in. That was important the last couple of years as it gave me a place to close off from the rest of the world. Now, my cube is it and it's up front. While today isn't that noisy, the rest of the week is and that makes concentrating difficult.
Randomly, the theme from The Love Boat keeps running through my head.
I'm sure it means something.

Just to keep you properly motivated, I'm kicking your butt a hundred-fold, and then some. I just crossed the 3,700 word mark.
Of course, I still don't have a plot either, but dialog and dining scenes seem to bring on high word counts.
The best thing to keep in mind is that the goal is quantity, and not quality. Editing can come later.
God, I'm just sucking total ass lately. Of course, this is part of my diabolical plan in which I'll make an 11th hour come-from-behind win and crank out 43,218 words in a single night.
Unrelatedly, know where I can score some crack?
