Today was voting day across the USA, the coverage has been insane and is slowly driving me insane! In addition to voting, I had an interview for a real job today. I say real because it is a full time with benefits job in an office setting. Been a very, very long time since I had a job like that. It's for a small local company and she pretty much offered me the job can you start tomorrow type deal. Which is cool in a way because who does not want to feel wanted. But it's scary in another way as it is something completely different from what I have been doing for the last decade! Plus I am waiting to hear back from another interview for a job as a writer that pays more, so I'm not wanting to rush into a sure I'll start tomorrow situation. I also don't want to close the door on the new offer.
So why do I bring this up on my NaNo blog? Because it has eaten into my writing today. Between voting, getting ready for the interview, the interview, and then obsessively stressing over what to do with the job offer, I only was able to write 1352 words. This is the first day I have not hit the NaNo standard pace of 1666 words/day. This, of course, is not helping my stress!! Thankfully my total word count is 13,381 which is still 2 days ahead of pace. It's after 1am now and I should go to bed as I have to get the kid to school in the morning. But as I'm still stressing I think I'm going to try and apply my stress to write about my character's stress on a plane full of infected people coughing up blood!
