NaNoWriMo Day 5

I slept for a large portion of today, but it was worthwhile. I have a bad case of Sneezer's Ribs, but the cold has pretty much dried up. The remaining swelling from my tooth abscess hardly hurts at all and, despite a distinct feeling of muzziness (probably not aided by sleeping too much), I feel much better and can think more clearly again. Hurray!

My novel has crept along a bit further without too much pain. I was chatting to a friend on Skype today and went through a rough plot synopsis of how the plot is panning out and how it will hopefully progress; it was very, very basic, but probably the most detailed of all of my thoughts so far, so I have added it to the beginning of the novel in the accepted (from the NaNo word count perspective) form of 'Writer's Notes'. It's all new and novel-related, after all. I suppose if I get desperate, I can add my ever-increasing scene list (ie contents) and character outline sheet in the form of additional 'Writer's Notes'. Actually, now that I come to think of it, it's highly likely that I will be this desperate.

Anyway, I've also added a new scene as well as continuing with a previous one, so I feel that I have accomplished something. I'm not really in the mood for it at the moment, but I think that it is important to try to keep up. It's definitely easier today, though, so I think that the last few days have really suffered whilst I was feeling unwell.

Having reached my word limit for the day, I'm off to play games for a while.
