As to what that goal is...
As writers, we have many goals. To tell a story, certainly. To entertain, perhaps. To learn something about ourselves, always.
But as NaNoWriMo writers, our primary goal this month is to tell a story by writing 50,000 words in 30 days. Some say that we're crazy. Some days it's hard not to think that they might be right.
But we do it anyway. And we do it by writing every day, every week, word by word, sentence by sentence, unfailingly, unflinchingly, trying our best to hit our daily word counts until we cross that finish line!
Today's goal is 33,333! Excerpts? Questions? Comments? It's all good!
And remember... keep writing!

"The thing you suggested back in that other world. The... uhm... marriage thing. I know that you were just joking and feel free to say no, but I would... well, that is I'd like to... You're a good friend in the short time we've known each other. You're not involved in any of the politics in this world. You know me. So I was wondering if..."
Oh boy. Jahnee was going to be pissed. "You want to ask me if I'd consider marrying you," she said. Never had she heard such an awkward sentence and it came from her own mouth.
Monty could only nod. His face was bright red.
"You realize that Jahnee is going to kill you for stealing his adoptive sister away, right? And I'm not going to just sit around and look pretty. Or try to look pretty at least. I don't want to be shut into the palace."
ETA: 50,103 words. Which is just the barebones plot done. Now I get to print it out and start seeing where I want to add scenes, add them and add them to my wordcount. Woohoo!
