Yesterday was the first real day of writing for me. I'm behind, but there is no need to panic right now. There will be plenty of time for that later.

In search of a little encouragement, I went to the Mountain View Write-In. I met some cool new people who are also struggling with this month-long challenge. It was also a pleasant surprise to see Elke there. Her writing game is on and she even has a NaNoWriMo blog with links to her novel-in-progress. I'm not so brave, but will share a smidgen of what I pass off as writing...

Simultaneous existence has always been problematic. Patience is a virtue, but one that most people lack. If humans had been more patient, they would have existed one at a time and lived very peaceful lives. There wouldn't be traffic congestion or mass hysteria or fights over who got the larger half of the cookie.

But instead of waiting their turn, groups of people decided to exist simultaneously. These groups would later be known as generations. Almost like clockwork, a new generation would come into existence every twenty years or so. This would go on for ages.
