NaNoWriMo: Day 8

This past Thursday, my co-workers and I had a little happy hour to celebrate a successful major release earlier this week and I had a lovely bottle of Guinness before I went home. Now, I don't drink alcohol much, so I stayed tipsy for a while. In fact, I rushed home because wanted to write while tipsy. I was loose, and happy, and creative, and besides -- didn't BRILLIANT writers crank out amazing prose and poetry while inebrieted?

I won't know for sure until December, but I doubt I wrote the equivalent of a new masterwork. (Remember, NaNoWriMos don't read what we've written so far except to pick up the thread for the current day's work). I do know that I wrote a term paper in college while severely sleep-deprived once, thinking that at 4:30 AM, it was the best term paper in the history of the world and realizing during a frantic edit session a half-day later -- after a 5 hour nap -- that it was dead horrid.

Whatever gets me to the daily word count. Special shout-out to Moxie Sis, who I hope is still going strong after a fire-hose-of-prose beginning. She's got to be at least 25K words by now -- after just a week. Obviously, she has something to get out of her ;)
