My apologies that there is no new poll. I'm on the road today and have been having difficulties acquiring a connection to the Internet. Hopefully all should be back on track November 4.

Day Two
3080 words today for a two-day running total of 7202. I'm still ahead of schedule and have a new poll for you up on Raindancing Dragons.
Ah the polls. Those crazy polls. When I first thought them up, they seemed like such a great idea! The perfect way to keep me -- the uber-organized planner -- firmly anchored in the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants spirit of NaNoWriMo! Well, I wasn't wrong about that, but they sure are stressing me out!
I got off to a great start yesterday. Pounding out slightly more than twice my daily word count goal. Creating characters and whole storylines on the fly. I was feeling good. Then I posted my first poll and went to bed.
Well, I tell you, I could not sleep! I tossed and turned most of the night, worried about what my readers would do to poor little Diane Helice Callisto. She'd only been in existence a few hours when I handed her off to you with a BIG decision to make, and already I cared too much about what happened to her! (And the NaNo experts all tell you, "Write something completely new for NaNo. That way, you won't care about it too much and you will be able to do what you'll need to do in order to complete the challenge." Hmph!)
When I dragged my sorry carcass out of bed this morning at 6:36 a.m., I felt somewhat the worse for wear. Still, I persevered. Did my yoga. Wrote my words. Walked my dog. And posted another poll for you all.
"And what did become of poor Diane?" you ask. Well, the final vote was tied. Now I'm faced with a new dilemma: Do I cast the deciding vote myself, or somehow attempt a compromise between the two positions? You'll have to wait until tomorrow night to find out.
In the meantime: Go. Vote. Take good care of India for me.

The First Poll is Up
Did my yoga, ate three square meals, walked my dog twice, and wrote four thousand one hundred and twenty two words today. Now it's your turn.
Diane Helice Callisto has had a rough year, losing her job under disturbing and inappropriate circumstances and breaking up with her girlfriend in the bargain, but Diane has recently received an offer which, if accepted, will transport Diane thousands of light years away from her old troubles to a new and exciting life on a distant planet. Should Diane stay at home, attempt to work things out with her old flame and rebuild her life, or accept this new challenge and fly away to new adventures? You can help to decide Diane's fate by voting in the web poll on Raindancing Dragons but only if you vote soon. Each poll is only open for one day!

And We're Off!
1961 words down the hatch this morning.
No new poll for you to vote on yet -- only the prologue is posted so far -- but have no worries, I have another writing session again this afternoon and will post again with something new for you to vote on before the day is out.
In the meantime, go be intrigued by the prologue -- and vote in the fun pre-NaNo poll if you haven't done so already. (I've heard of people incentivising their NaNoWriMo quests by betting people on their success or failure in the mission -- but so far no one has voted that they think I cannot do this!)
