Hurry up and post... with a drawing from the past

Yes, since it is NaNoBloMo and I said I would post every day until the end of the month and as it's 11:55 right now, I figured I had better get this posted as soon as possible.

Edited to add that I'm back now for the actual post. The drawing is from a sketchbook that I found last night. This particular drawing doesn't have a date on it, but the other dates in the book would indicate that I was 18 or 19 at the time. I actually remember drawing it. I believe I used an illustration from the classic children's book of poetry, A Child's Garden of Verses as my reference. It's fun looking through old sketch books.

I'm afraid that I only managed to write 651 words this morning before work. I don't know if I can muster more tonight as I just got home about a half an hour ago and I'm pretty tired and don't know if my brain has much juice left in it. I had a feeling that today would be a light day. I'll have to try to make up for it tomorrow. My goal is to have 15,000 words by Sunday and as I have only a little over 8000 at this point, that goal may be a bit lofty. We'll see what happens... I was kind of wondering if I do get to 50,000 words, if I would have the guts to submit what is going to be mostly awful. I was relieved to find out when I was reading through some of the instructions this morning that they want you to scramble the words (supposedly you can do that in Microsoft Word) before submitting it. As it is only about quantity, they just do a word count, and if you pass, you get a certificate and some kind of web award. So, if I finish, I will definitely submit my scrambled up mess. I want my certificate, damnit!

Edited again to add that I did do a bit of writing. In fact, I wrote 1147 words. Yahoo!
