NaNo in July Day 1: word count 2,537

Today I officially started on my self proclaimed NaNoWriMo in July project and so far things are going really well. It helps not having to go to work anymore. I was able to get quite a bit of writing done while the boys were still asleep and then I got out to my favorite coffee shop this afternoon and got quite a bit more done.

One of the drawbacks to not working anymore is how isolating it can be just sitting at the computer in my office all day. I've had stories fizzle and die on me due to a lack of contact with the real world. To combat my hermit tendencies I've been making a point to leave the house and go someplace public to write for an hour or two. It seems to help, at the very least it makes for some good people watching when I get stuck.
