A Weather Related Accident

Jamál (Beauty), 18 Ilm (Knowledge), 165 B.E. – Sunday, November 2, 2008 about 8:18 AM Pacific Time

On day 2 of NaNoWriMo a weather related accident occured - Time Fell Back. OK, so much for Daylight Saving Time humor.

I wrote 1,737 words on day 1 of NaNoWriMo and didn't complete the prologue to my novel. Besides the daily word count goal, I've set a chapter goal. The word count goal for each chapter is 2,000 words, while my daily goal is 1,667.

Sometimes when I'm writing I can be short winded and other times I'm long winded. If I set a minimum goal for each chapter then I can judge the best approach when I reach that goal. I think I'm almost finished with the prologue to The Paradox Stone, I have a bit more information to put in it so that the reader can start Chapter 1 with a little background knowledge. Anything else that comes up during the novel's writing can be put in as flashbacks or something like that.

Today's weather related accident has my time sense confused. I think it must be about 9:30 or so, but it's only about 8:30. It's going to take a while for me to get the time straight. However, daylight savings time is over and I'm wondering if I shouldn't be getting some sort of time dividend. All right, so my sense of humor is a warped as my sense of time.
