Hmm, I think this is the longest I've seen the NaNoWriMo site go down for, I hope it's back up and running soon.

Hey,I reached my daily target! I got to 3,000 words. Only my second day of writing!

[Lightning]

This is my first year trying this. I'm currently at 43,525 words.

First lines?
What's everybody's first line?
Mine:
It was the first time I've seen the sun in three years.

I can't put my first line, it wouldn't make sense. x3 So, first paragraph:
“...So I did the first thing I could think of. I ran. I ran as fast as I could out of those woods. I ran away from it all. From him. I knew there was no going back now. I would have to live with the guilt for the rest of my life. But that wouldn’t be much longer. An assassin always dies early. People can’t risk the true identity of the death of their target being leaked...” I finished reading my excerpt, blushing furiously, eyes trained on the ground. Everyone was staring at me. I hated the attention. Well, most of it. There was one pair of eyes that I could never get tired of feeling on me. They belonged to my best friend. My only friend, David Sullivan.

Since just my first line wouldn't make sense at all here is the first tiny bit of my story:
The small wire cage was filled with misfits. Sick little rats found in the gutters and brought to salvation, or so it seemed. A hefty brown rat chewed at a large flea on its hind leg with metal teeth, another itched at its raw ears with metal claws. They were prototypes for the brilliance that was soon to exist. A thin feminine hand reached into the cage and pulled out a small white rat from the corner. Its beady eyes lit up with terror and it began to squeal as it was torn away from its companions. It tried desperately to free itself but was so small it fit inside her palm and there was no chance of it escaping no matter how hard it struggled. The woman, Dr. Sarah Smith felt inclined to squish the poor beast and put it out of its misery but it was needed for the experiment. Dr. Nicholas Luis and her planned to change the world.

Avery awoke as the early dawn light filtered into her room, as it did every morning.

[Tiny Bubbles]

Since the start of the prologue was written before November, I'll give you the first little bit of Chapter1:

“I'm kinda broke.”
“Yeah, so am I.”
“...I've been using your money the whole time! Why didn't you tell me you didn't have much!?”
“For Gods sake guys, just take the damn money.” Tod muttered, already reaching into his pocket. “If it means so much to you, then you can pay me back later. I don't care.”
“Fine.” Leo smirked, taking the money from him. “I love being the oldest.” He grinned heading up to the bar to get them all another round of drinks.

And if you want to read the rest of my novel, then it's on my deviantart account(link in my siggy) :)

My first line: One dark night, in a small-ivy colored house on the outskirts of an equally small town, a shadow was lurking.

Spookery, no?
