tiiiired

Think I’m finally winding down now. Watched a couple episodes of Highlander (it turns out the god-awful Richie episode is in 3rd season. On the positive side, at least I don’t have to watch it to finish out this season…) and went out to dinner at Aladdin’s with Ted. Not necessarily in that order.

Twenty nine thousand, four hundred and three. This is the number of words I have written since 10am Sunday morning. 10 chapters. 125 pages. A bunch of notes on what to fix.

6 chapters down, 3 to go

6 chapters down, 3 to go. 8500 words so far today. I may sit down and write another 1500 later, just to make it a nice even 10K, but I hit my actual goal of finishing up through chapter 6, so I’m very satisfied. I am on track to shatter my current most-words-written-in-3-days record, which stands (and has stood since 1998) at 24,000 words.
