… I officially passed the halfway line. I finished at 25,047 words today, which means I’m 50% done. If i could keep this speed up, I’d be done be done by the 20th!
Unfortunately, I can’t. I’ll be unavailable Fri-Sun, due to a trip out of town, but still. I should make it. 50,000 words by Nov 30.
And since I had a little done before I started, I’m on approximately 39,000 words for the project altogether. Since mid-October. If I keep to The Plan, I should have 65,000 words by Dec 1. Then, ladies and gentlemen, I’ll pop the champagne.
And then I’ll get start redrafting and editing it. Oh, the joys of writing! 
Hm, let me see…
- chocolate cupcakes (actually these never get made, but the ingredients are there. All over the place in fact)
- Cherry Garcia ice cream (OK, this is not eaten but it is mentioned)
- lemon and strawberry cupcakes (these are consumed, and with great relish too)
- cheesecake (not eaten, just pushed around the plate)
- also mentioned and not eaten are apfel strudel, sacher torte and nut brittle
And that’s all. Damn, my characters are frugal. When I serve things up, they don’t even eat them!
…one brilliant comic but no partridge nor a pear tree.
I’m delirious! I did 6,150 words! And I took two walks and did the weekly grocery shopping. I’m so awesome there should be statues erected in my honor.
If I could keep this up for one week, I’d be done. I’d also be mad and out of a job, but hey, great art requires sacrifice.
A list of random objects in today’s writing:
- booty shorts
- lemon and strawberry cupcakes with pink and yellow frosting
- a korg ms-20
- freckles
- the Hobbit
- band shirts in XXL
- and the old favorite, jeans in the freezer
Come on, you know you want to read it. Or at least erect that statue. I’m feeling you. Totally. It feels good to be… Bad.
So, it’s past midnight, which means NaNo has officially begun. I won’t write anything tonight, but I’ll kick it off by posting a mosaic with pictures which are all part of the story I’m going to write.
And the game is officially on.
See you tomorrow. Or not. I may have some writing to do.
