NaNo Rebel '24, Day 2: yup, it's day two all right

     Not much of a title, I know.

    Anyhow, I mean, it was both a good day and a bad day for writing?  (Though something started that really should no longer be a thing anymore at my age, which really, really, really, really, really, really sucks...!)

    I got through a fair chunk of words--over 4k--and through several scenes.  Including, appropriately enough, the scene wherein the ghosts of Wei Wuxian's parents are raised to identify him.  (Since he's still a small child and doesn't remember who his parents were.  Which is canonically the case:  by the time he was found in the streets of Yiling, all he remembered was that his name had a "Ying" in it.)  Which is, of course, appropriate because today is the Day of the Dead.

    On the other hand, I'm not sure if I need to put anything else in there to fill in the gap between him being eight years old and him being fifteen years old.  Since it's at fifteen that the story really picks up, what with that being when the rest of the cast comes to study at Cloud Recesses.

    I figure I'll worry about that later, though.


    Still haven't decided if I want to use something else to keep track of my progress, or even if I want to bother with a chart like I did last year.

    For right now...

    Words written as of yesterday:  2,700

    Words written today:  4,348

    Total words written in November to date:  7,048
