GET YOUR WORDS OUT-- FIRST WORD WARS! I am DONE!!!!

[paragraphs]

TWENTY THOUSAND
AND NINETY-TWO WORDS! 

IN TWO FREAKING DAYS!!!!!!!!

To say I am happy is a slight understatement.  I can't believe I pulled out so many words in two days.  Given my monthly goal is a gasp-producing 25,479 words, and dawn of Saturday morning, I was about 10k behind, I am jumping up and down with glee. So to speak. Now, I am a whopping  4,736 words ahead of that.   Saturday, I wrote 13,216 words, today I wrote 6,876 words.

This has proven something to me.  That I *can* still enter The Zone, and still produce stuff that makes sense, and that, more importantly, by focusing so hard on the ONE story, and just pouring myself into the words and what is happening in the story, that magical things happen....connections are created that I couldn't see before, different avenues explode in my mind where I can take the story next, if I do this or this or that.  I had honestly believed I had lost this.  This is what it was like writing Red.  And I've said it often enough, writing Red was THE most fun I've ever had writing, of all I've written since I began writing at the ripe old age of 33.  

So anyway, now I am curling up in bed to just relax, wait for the next word war, where I will just be a cheerleader. I simply can't do anymore now.  I've got dozens of pages over 33 single-spaced pages to go through.  In Times New Roman, lol.  The total word count is now 23,741 words.  The other words that make up the 30,215 I've written for the month were via several other fics, which comes to 6,474 words not of this fic. 

Hopefully, we will get to do more of these.  I'd love to, without doubt.  No more than once a month though--it's gonna take me two weeks to clean up this before I can go on.  Grin.

Night, all!  I am curling up with my current watch, ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL, and going to simply relax the rest of the evening. AFTER, that is, I upload my story to my website, story now known fondly as OFN (One False Note).   YAY!

Yeah, the wordwars I did during NaNo were fun and productive.
