I just finished banging out over 1700 words for the first chapter of my NaNoWriMo story. I want to write more. There are so many more nuances hinted at by the spread it's based on that I'd need at least another thousand to do it justice. But they'd also have to be shoe horned into the scene something fierce. Go read it, if you have some time, and let me know what you think.

For the names of the companies (British Implimentations and Diversified Research Engineering), I once again turned to Seventh Sanctum's generators. I'll be using them a lot.

Looking at my schedule, I already see problems with getting one of these "chapters" done per day. I foresee weekend where I'm going to have to crank out three or four in order to make up for losing evenings to meetings, time with friends or, y'know, sleep.

Looking back on Day One's copy, I can't say I'm exceptionally happy with it. But, since it's all the way over there in another post, I can resist the urge to go and re-write when I go to work on tonight's installment. I may have finally found a way to not constantly re-edit things as I write or add to them...

Now, on to the next spread:

1. The Lovers
2. Queen of Spears
3. Queen of Cups
4. Five of Swords (inverted)
5. Wheel of Fortune
6. The Emperor (inverted)
7. Two of Swords
8. Two of Spears
9. The Fool
10. The Star

Another big bunch of Major Arcana cards... kind of appropriate for the beginning of a story, I guess--numerous external forces conspiring to make the lives of the characters more interesting than "normal" people and such.

Onward toward more typing...
