NaNoWriMo Day... what am I up to?

So yesterday, which was really last night, which was really this morning, I finished up my writing session with 13,155 words. Not too bad, but I was still about 3k off. Blame it on the PS3 and my social life.

This afternoon at the AdelNaNo write-in session at the State Library, I smashed out just over 2.5k. From memory I did more at the SA Writer's Centre write-in last week but I did stay the entire time at that write-in, whereas today I was only there until 3:30, and then my hunger and lack of creative impulse got the better of me and I packed up. Still, it's 2.5k more than I had yesterday. And the day's not yet finished, though I suspect the rest of the night will be spent playing Assassin's Creed: Revelations. But, for now, I stop for a breather at 15,753 words - 2,580 under par. I can do that in a night, surely??

Edit (8:52pm): Instead of playing PS3 all night (the other half got stuck into playing), I rebooted MS Word and tried to do a bit more writing, but in the end, I only wrote a little under 500 more words than I had this afternoon. Still, that's 500 words I don't have to cover in tomorrow's session. Still under par, but the gap's been reduced to 2,209. 

If I'm determined enough, I'll do a bit more before going to bed at midnight, but at this stage, that seems unlikely, given I'll be giving Skyrim a go now the other half's given up on Enzio's quest...
