It is now day 7 of NaNoWriMo (as indicated by my title--just wanted to make sure any vagueness was cleared up), and I am ginourmously behind.  4,602 words behind, to be precise.  Gah.  I didn't quite make the count on Friday and I didn't write at all yesterday, planning to use today to catch up.  Needless to say, no writing was accomplished.
