NaNo 3

So, three days in, less than 5000 words, one "chapter" finished and...I'm already feeling stuck. And it's not like anything big happened in the first chapter either, maybe the last big I guess.

This is always my problem, getting from point A to point B, I have many ideas for what could happen but my mind can't work it's way around how to get there. I was already planning random teleport action, maybe I'll find some magic way to pull it forward. I've never done NaNo before this, how much sense should it make?

This is what I get for not telling a story I'd already played out when I get inspired by roleplaying games I guess.

YAY

OBAMA WINS!!!!

I know everything isn't going to be magically fixed tomorrow, or inauguration day, or even right after. But for just this moment I feel hopeful, far more so than I have...a long time.

I feel like the Comedy Central coverage gets the award for most amazing timing. I wouldn't be surprised if in future days people long remember where they were when they heard Obama won and I'll have to admit I found out from Jon Stewart but that okay.

Tomorrow the work begins but tonight, let's just be happy that our country had embraced opportunity and hope tonight.

Congratulations President-elect Obama.

Also DOUBLE YAY that in Colorado a person will not be defined as beginning at conception. At least 75% or so of my state is sane.
