Hoo-aah. 95,200 words on the book. Hit 400 (and one!) pages today. It can wrap up any time in the next hundred and fifty pages, thanks. *counts on fingers* Yeah. Something like that. I’m averaging 7800 word chapters (for God’s sake) and I figure I’ve got about five left. I hope it’s not more than that. o.O Honestly, I got nothin’. This is what happens when I’m up to my ears in actual writing. miles to Isengard: 299 ytd wordcount: 330,100
the best-laid plans…
I’d intended to write another 1300 or so words after getting home from my evening walk, but I was all pissy and adrenalized, so I ended up not doing it. I did, though, hit quota, which is good. Um.

The inestimable points out to me that CommonRo is playing in Belfast on the *6th*, and despite my conviction that the 6th of October is a Saturday, it turns out it’s actually today. Bloody hell. Well. If I retreat to a hotel room over the weekend (the idea of which is now sullied), it appears I’ll be going to Cork. (Actually, sullied or not, the next few days need to be writing-heavy, so if I haven’t made a decent stand by noon or so tomorrow I’ll go into Cork.) *mutter*…
