Be Happy, Idiot is entirely planned out; all sixteen chapters of it. It should be well over 50,000 words (or I hope so, anyway). It has a well-rounded plot with plenty of action, drama, and attempted murders (there are four, currently).

I have tiny details planned and written down so I will have each Chapter being happy happy happy!

Hopefully everyone who's looking forward to reading this will find it an enjoyable ride.

Anyway, I have a word count to start knocking down. I *will* make 25k today, even if it kills me. At least 1500 now, then a nap, then another 1500. Rain or shine: I'll be writing you, you silly novel!

EDIT1 (8:50 am): put up an excerpt from Be Happy, Idiot on my nanowrimo page. :)

So I reached 7k by 12am; not quite my goal, but good enough. I'll get to at least 9k if not 10k by tonight. Since i got my MC (main character) out of the funeral/wake, it's been smooth sailing. Of course, I only have up to Chapter Four planned. I'm in Chapter Three right now. Hopefully I'll sit down before I start writing again and outline a few chapters ahead. I think there will be about 20 chapters in all. Hopefully. Maybe less.

In addition, I have backed up my novel on a flashdrive I bought for this specific reason. :D

PS. I love how when my best friend has a question like "what are the dimensions of a grizzly bear claw?" my wonderful boyfriend has the heart to go out and find out the answer so she doesn't have to take time out of writing in order to research it. He's positively amazing and I love him so dearly.
