Today is Day 24 of Nano. My stats are as such:
Nano words: 36,043
Total wordcount: 71,657
Nano thinks I won't hit 50k until December 3rd. Hmph! Not true!
Plotpoints yet to write: 12
Estimated final wordcount: 90kish, a little higher than I had thought, but still under 100k, which is good for me considering last two novels were over 250k... :)
This is the first year of ALL the many years I've stabbed at Nano that I will actually get 50k. I am pretty floored about this. There's alot of differences w/me this go round that I think have made a difference: I have a project that I love, I have alot of reasons to get this thing done NOW, I have a local support group that is always asking 'how you doing?' (and incidentally? all of them have already reached 50k and beyond. Woot!). I have also had minimal hand/arm pain. That stopped me cold last year. But not this year. I do not know why but I am not questioning it.
Am at work today but not really working hard. There are four of us here today, as was yesterday and Monday. Not much else to say about this place.
Thanksgiving for us will be quick and easy. Spinach quiche, orange juice, croissants, jelly, bacon. 10-11:30, then MIL is out of there for other festivities with her friends, the daughter is off to work, the son has been invited to go eat dinner at a couple of different places so he is headed out. And I will stay at home with my pupsters, writing. Thanksgiving isn't a big affair in our house obviously.
Tonight though? HARRY POTTER! With mah kids! Plus two! Plus probably a couple more! Whenever I go see a movie 'with my kids' it usually means about six kids. No, not complaining. Much. LOL. Tiff was bad and saw it on Monday--she tried to sneak-watch it and wasn't going to tell but guess what? I woke up, realized she wasn't home (yes she is 21, but she always touches base with me, we just do that), so I texted her. CAUGHT! She had just got out of the theatre, bad girl. LOL. Oh well.
Busy days--Nick and Tiff both are in the throes of job hunting, so I am getting hit from both sides. Grin. I continue with my SPN rewatch, and am going to start watching Buffy as I have never seen it. It never appealed to me back then, but maybe now?
Not much else. I am so happy with how things are going writerly-wise, that that is really my main focus in life right now. Then once this is done, I'm diving straight into Yuletide. I really really like the fandom I have chosen from my recipient's list; I will be writing something I never have before, and that will be fun.
After that? I am challenging myself to a three-months, start-to-finish manuscript writing marathon. I want to get the next one to Loose-Id as quickly as I can. This one will have alot of fun built-in, and I can't wait to work on it. WHEE!
I guess I should get to work?
