This was the easy part?

The first week of noveling is supposed to be easy. "Week One is a fantastic time to build up a comfortable word-count lead," they say. Meh. I suppose they're right. Work and other plans rendered noveling impossible yesterday, but today I reached my 2,000-word goal with no problem. I went at a leisurely pace and still finished before the two hours I had allotted. So what am I whining about? Well, um, it's just that it's 2,000 (or 2,199 now, counting chapter titles and such, to be exact...) of... nothing. I'm going on and on about feelings, and motivations, and background, and nothing is happening. Meh. I knew that'd be my weak spot. And yes, yes, it doesn't matter. Editing will come later, and I will give it Plenty of material to deal with. I will output, output, output! Yes! Internal Editor, take that! In fact...

Internal Editor, thou art doomed!
