A Fix!
I've figured out a way around my computer problems - a tape recorder! I can't believe I haven't thought of doing this earlier. Apparently I can dictate my novel very quickly... 1,500 words in 15 or 20 minutes. There's the transposing after that, which takes a while, but it's not too bad - plus, it's just typing, not actually thinking.
My computer died for a couple of hours tonight and I was going to completely give up on NaNo and then I said something about being able to dictate it and Jeff said that he has a tape recorder that he uses for his monologues and such. Well, it's just the best thing ever. I think I'd prefer to write this way always - it's so much quicker and I get a better sense of what I'm trying to express when I can say it verbally. So, while I'm still very far behind in my word count, I'm making progress again. I've got a theatre conference this weekend, but hopefully I'll be able to get to 40K by the end of Monday.
