@longcat - If you look on the NaNo forums you'll see that's a pretty common predicament. I've had that happen a lot of times during November writing sessions. I'll have an outline that's all nice and neat and then a week later the story will have been derailed off the outline or the initial idea I had. NaNo is about making a creative mess so to speak. It's a first draft. It doesn't have to be organized. It doesn't have to be pretty. Halfway through the month you could decide to completely shift everything in a different direction and it's a-okay. If things go well, you might find something in that mess you can use.
It might be worth you making an account over there/scanning the forums even if you don't participate just because there's a lot of good writing advice and a good-sized community over there dedicated to that specific issue.
@Kat - Hello! I'm pretty excited myself, though I've gotta juggle a few things on top of NaNo this year. How are you?

Oop, didn't realize you already had one. Or you could just make a new one if you wanted. I don't think they restrict one account to one email address. >w> They renovated the site recently so it might just be fun to take a look around.

Oh my goodness, I'd COMPLETELY forgotten about it. I've not planned ANYTHING. ;~;
Thank you for (indirectly) reminding me.

Sometimes jumping in without planning is fun, though. It's a little messier but you can find hidden gems that way. I started up a side-project last month with no outline just to see where it goes, since I haven't not planned since... 2011, I think.
But if you work better on an outline I'm glad I could help. ^^;

finally done with work.
I've got some prep I still need to do. I work early tomorrow, but that means I have the later half of the day all to myself.

I have work tomorrow too, until the middle of the afternoon, so I'll be writing afterwards.

lol, but I know more people working on worksdays than in weekends.
People around me are more to professionals office job, compare to service segment.
I do occasionally work on weekends, that would be OverTime.
Bearzyzy~ ooo! You must have some delicious gossip stories from hotels? I want to know~

Haha yeah, I agree. Hotels are a hotspot for gossip. So are coffee shops. You wouldn't believe how many marginally sane people there are ordering coffee every week.

Supermarkets are another good one, because people will talk to their cashiers about ANYTHING just to fill that awkward silence while groceries are getting scanned.
