Day Three: Triumphant!

Somewhere around noon today I realized that I was halfway done with this Writing Blitz, which cheered me up quite a bit. And now I’m 3/5ths done, and am feeling quite Blitzy!

And am around 47K on the book, so should get through 50K on it tomorrow. Oh, God, have I got a headache. -.O eta: headache from the cold, not from the writing. :) ytd wordcount: 52,200
