It Be Gin (yarr)

Another NaNoWriMo Update (yeah, there are gonna be a lot of these):
As of 11:59 p.m. on 11/03 I have 3,741 words. This is really behind the Original Unrealistic Daily Quota That Gave Me Five Free Days to Edit (2,000), but only a little behind the More Realistic 50,000 / 30 Daily Quota (1666.6667, aka Quota of the Beast).

Elapsed time between quota revisions:
Two days.

Morale:
Still good. No problems with writer's block. The story is coming along, and I'm spending all of my time at the computer actually writing and not staring into space. But clearly I am going to have to start spending more time at the computer.

Favorite passage of the day:

Hela is Death incarnate, fierce-looking but beautiful, with skin like alabaster on one side and blue like cyanide poisoning on the other.

"Mom!" she says, as I enter her hall. It’s our little joke - she claims I’m not wicked enough to be her stepmother.
