NaNo Prompt 1

I didn't make it into Glimmer train press this year :( but that's okay- another rejection to add to my project :) I'll post the official rejection on my "rejections" page as soon as they send it to me...they post finalists and winners up on their homepage...so I knew right away.

Alright Everyone...I'm geared and ready to go. As you see this, I will be typing away accomplishing homework so I can write 2000 words this evening for NaNo! My goal is to write atleast 2000 words per night.


I have a fun little thing to keep you all posted as well.
 This is how I'll keep a general idea going for you on my accomplishments, or failures:

Times screamed at my fairy muse:

Nervous breakdowns:
Number of pens thrown across the room:
Days word count has been slacked:
Best daily word count to date:

Least word count to date: 

Of course it will be blank until my next prompt post- but atleast you have an idea of what you will see. 
 And now for the very first NaNo writing prompt...

Exercise: Taken from "Unjournaling" by Dawn DiPrince and Cheryl Miller Thurston. pg 9

" SILLY is a middle aged man who combs his hair into a swirl on top of his balding head, gluing them in place with hair spray and hoping no one will notice.

 SILLY is a golden retriever who slinks sheepishly off the sofa whenever his owner comes home, hoping-despite the piles of hair all over the cushion- that she/he wont notice he's been sleeping on there.

 What else is SILLY?

Give three examples"

Remember you do not have to specifically use this, make it match whatever you are writing, incorporate it into some part of your story, or even as this is day one, start off with one of those SILLY examples.
