Off and meandering

About 20 people turned up for the St Louis NaNo write-in on Sunday, all tapping away  on one Alphasmart, three Macs, and a bunch of PC laptops.  Almost everyone was wearing  headphones and ignoring the others, chugging coffee and slowly eroding their  fingerprints.  I am woefully  behind on word count thanks to starting late, but the story is fun.  And I'm still working on the sweater at lunchtimes.

My story has a small nuclear explosion in the first five thousand words, plus a  really annoying geologist, and it's almost time to start killing people off.  I'm  planning on terminating about six characters by the end of the story (none of them will  be a Clifford Brooks).  Hubby has already started his body count, his story is going really well.
