NaNoWriMo Day 3

I'm over 5k words, which was my target for today.  Hooray.  Nevermind that I had to drag myself kicking and screaming to get there.  This is especially true after I goofed around and left myself a few hundred behind yesterday.  I really need to get off my ass and get way ahead, but I just don't work that way.  I need the panic.

So I'm on my second POV character now, who takes over in the third chapter.  I am apparently fond of re-writing part of a scene from another perspective, so where character 1 ended is not where character 2 began.  He started a little before that.

Pacing is a little weird.  I'm making tons of notes in the column for shit I need to go back and clean up.  I also keep marking off stuff where a character needs to swear uniquely, and I even made the dopey move of introducing a local dialect.  Now I feel like I need to go make a document about it somewhere so that it will be consistent.  Alternately, i could just make sure the characters never return to this region again.  That's the lazy option.  We'll see, I guess.

Okay, I'm off.  Karaoke tonight, and before that I have a tutoring session, and before THAT I need to go shopping for a brunch tomorrow, and then I am supposed to hang with someone tomorrow evening.  And in all that I need to write another 1.7k words.  Better get crackin'!
