Cheating?

 It feels like cheating, but I guess it depends on people's individual opinion.  In my NaNoWriMo writing today I made a list that the character in one of the stories planned to do.  Then I copied and pasted it and added the way it really happened for the character.  Then I thought, oh, shoot, that kind of seems like cheating on my word count.  So depending on opinions, the count may be considered 126 words higher than it would be had a chosen a different way to relay the information in the story.  Now, if I was aiming for the 50,000 words, I can see where this would be a huge thing.  My goal has been to write some every day, and I have.  I may have been hoping for the 50,000 words, but I didn't expect it.  Gideon is trying for 10,000, I'm hoping to have more than that.  I have two days to get less than 1000 words to reach the 10,000.  If I make the time, this will happen.  I'm pleased with my progress.  I have to say that writing fiction is harder than I thought it would be, perhaps because what I usually write is non-fiction.  Things I am happy for today:

• Singing Christmas carols in the car with K.
• That the house was built in a way that I can walk in circles to help me acheive my step count for the day.
• The sun rises and sets every day.  On some of these days, the sky turns lovely shades of color as a gift to those who look up.

When K saw this in the store today she asked me
to take a picture to share with our friend.
Our friend loves Stargate. Between the truck and the trees
there is a decoration similar to a stargate.
