I finished A Compendium of Kitlings! It came in at just under 7000 words, or at 8750 words, depending on how you count it (ie, either by using Word’s word counter, or by multiplying 250wpp times the number of pages, which is the traditional way to do it) and I’m pretty pleased with it overall! It makes me laugh, anyway! And between it and working on LG earlier today, I wrote 3000 words today! Go me! WOOOOOOO! *beam*

writing success
It’s pretty funny how other people’s writing success gets me all excited about writing. Mony has broken the 8000 word mark on her NaNoWriMo novel (GO MONY!!!), and *I’m* so smug about it I’m practically dancing around. And I’m all gung ho to write more, myself! (In fact, I am writing more. I figured out What Happens Next in the Kitling story, which means I may be able to finish it tonight! Yah!)
jeez
Jeez, I thought I was doing okay today. I wrote 1500 words, edited a chapter, actually socialized IRL with some human beings other than my immediate family, and swam, but *Sarah* more or less took over the world. Gooooooooo Sarah! Ted put a split keyboard on my desktop. I hope very much that it helps my pinky/elbow/back ulnar nerve problem, because it hurts like hell.
more words
Another 900 or so words on LG, for 1500 total so far today. Ted wants me to go out to lunch (which is to say, to go out and watch other people eat, since I’m not hungry) with him and some of his friends, so I’m going to take my swimming gear (in case it runs long) and go and be sociable, and then go swimming. I may write some more tonight; I donno. I should do another 200 words to make the 1700wpd wordcount the 50K-in-a-month requires. I should…
good morning
A good morning so far. I got 600ish words written before the boys got up (I also fed the dog, filled her peanutbutterball, and changed the kitty litter as procrastinatory measures) and Sarah’s just edited the next US chapter for me. In a couple minutes I have to go back to the salt mines and get another 1100 words (or more) written on LG, but for this moment, I’m coasting and happy. All is well with the world!
