I know the idea of NaNoWriMo is to frantically get words down on pages and to avoid revising them till it is done. Well, chapter 2 was really bugging me and it wasn't even finished so I was naughty and went over it today. It lost me a lot of time, but it reads quite a bit better now (still needs a proper rewrite though).
Instead of posting it here I've edited my previous LJ post.
In future I might simply give a link to my story instead of pasting it behind an lj-cut tag. It would make posting it much simpler. If anybody prefers the whole thing in LJ then please let me know. Or if the link to the story is preferable for you then don't be bashful; let me know. The link for all chapters is always

Tell me what you think of this first draft so far.
Now to get on and write today's installment... wish me luck... :)

December is for deleting and editing, extending, and general rewrites. Actually my Decembers seem to be spent recovering.
Aaagh! I shouldn't be writing this; I should be writing my story! I am truly the most easily distracted person in the world.
