So. I'm five days into NaNoWriMo. My first day's work was only 1281 words, not very near the quota of over 1600. And I haven't written any until today! So I'm slightly upset. Not much, because cramming can always be done in the last two weeks. 
Araron has decided he wants to be a Man, not an Elf. So I had to rewrite him. But it doesn't make any sense for him to be whatshisname's son because that was over four hundred years ago that that happened... So I've decided his father was a half elf, and had the longevity of life that Elves had, but Araron is pretty much a normal human. Besides having some better diplomatic ability than most humans. 
No offense to the humans out there.
Maneveri is being slightly cooperative, but she's brooding about her mother in a way that is just not Elven. 
So I'm at a bit of a loss what to do with her. I'm guessing I'll find some way to bring her mother into the story. Her name was Rissanori. She disappeared with her sword Italeuca (Flashing Snake, it has a green diamond blade) about a hundred years before the story begins. There's now rumors around Arahelmia about a mysterious person guarding their borders whose sword cannot be broken, but breaks others. Maneveri has a sneaking suspicion it's her mother, but I honestly don't know. I hate it when the story goes without me!
So now after I finish this entry, I'm typing out chapter two, and will edit this entry to tell you how many words I have today, but remember that the day has not yet ended! I am still dangerously at large until midnight for today's quota. However, after knowing that I'm still many words behind this weeks quota, you can rest easy knowing that I wrote seven thousand words in one evening because I was behind on my SuNoWriMo on the last night.
And right now I"m like this -> 
because I had Dr. Pepper with my Baja Fresh lunch that I went out with Mom to have. I actually had a refill too, except it was a medium, not those gigantic ones. Otherwise I'd be twice as bad! Mom would be just plain FRIGHTENED.
So I'm going to go write and if anybody stops by looking for me, -> 
. You just found me. But I'm gone. "gone like a freight train gone like yesterday......gone like a fiftynine cadillac, like all the good things that ain't never comin back"
Did I mention country music is good inspiration? 
EDIT:
I'm happy. 2045 words in two working days. Now to get another three hundred words, and I'll have finished November 2nd's quota... *rolls eyes* I am so far behind...

Oh, the names you have come up with! They are great! When I try and make up names they sound chesy and weird, but yours just sound cool.
You can do it, don't worry, just get working! *tells the same thing to herself* I should get back to my NaNo, i've got about 1798 more words to write. >.<

I don't remember Tolkien spending hours and hours on the phone when he was under deadline...
But, then, I doubt his Mom made him clean out the pet's cage and do dishes, either.
Some guys have all the luck. Don't worry, though, what you've told me of your story is wonderful!
