First Hurdle! Yippee! I have NaNo'd today! A total of 2,283 words!! Here's a snippet: "Spike bit into the nicotine gum and winced at the taste. It wasn’t a cigarette. It wasn’t even nicotine. It was more like the inside of a shoe that had been left behind in a road. A single shoe, the way single shoes always ended up in the middle of the road. A cheap shoe. A fat woman’s shoe, like the kind of shoes that the nuns wore at his old school. A Sister Rosita kind of shoe. Sister Rosita, who index finger was so bent that when she shook her finger at you, it almost pointed back to herself. Sister Rosita, who was so fat that the stretch band on her watch suddenly exploded from the strain one day, and hit David Eddins right in the forehead. Yeah, Sister Rosita. And her shoes. They’d probably taste just like this shitty gum." God bless Sister Rosita. The watch thing? True Story. Really!
