NaNoWriMo Mid-month update

8,647 words. I got behind due to the flu last week and then needed to catch up on work stuff, but I should be back on track now. I can tell that it's helping my creative writing process, but there is really no organization or anything to what I've written. And it's not really a novel, but a memoir. But, I'm still aiming for the 50,000 words by the end of the month.
