I was most definitely not ready for having an entire day below freezing in November. 
Though I just checked the blog post for this date exactly a year ago and it was only marginally warmer. So why am I surprised.
Though no snow then. This is Boos first time seeing snow and as predicted he went bonkers and was mad as a Hatter all day.
We stayed below freeing all day so there was no point in putting out the washing.
Everyone went quiet and waited.
A good cold day means a good hot risotto and for a good risotto we need a very good stock.
I am at just over 10,000 words which is not bad for just over three days. Today I hope to write another 5 or 6,000 words actually. My characters have started to talk to each other and I love it when they chat. They can say all the words I don’t. And it is a kind of third party discovery. I have a clear day today. No need to go anywhere but the farmy and the keyboard.
Still cold. A good day for being inside..
Have a lovely day.

Loved your post so very much as I am awaiting snow on the high desert of Oregon in the US. It certainly was a perfect NANO work for you. I stopped to cheer you on. That is an amazing word count for 3 days.
Your comment about conversations between characters helped me just now. it was an AHA moment for me. I have been struggling with this in my NANO write.
Thank you!
Oh yes, that is what i do, i let them talk or if i am really stuck I describe the room they are talking in, or I take them for a walk.. I used to write plays , them moved into film dialogue, so i find myself being very action, design and dialogue driven. Do you want to be a buddy? I could fine you? c
Good luck with your writing challenge. And that certainly is cold and it seems very cold for November but, if it was like that last year, I guess it’s typical. xx
That stock looks top…and the dog looks mad:)
I didn’t like snow when I lived in England, it used to turn to slush in a matter of hours and then freeze over again. I dont do cold very well. We have had temps in the low to mid 30’s C for a while now in Northern NSW and this is our usual thunderstorm season. Not all places get the good falls of rain though – we often miss out here on the ridge. At least some rain is better than none, but when the wind picks up every day lately, it dries the ground out again. I sound like a whingeing pom, which I am not really, but wind really gets to me.

I’m glad things have quieted outside so you can be inside and write, it sounds like your story is coming right along. Boo appears to like the snow.
