Shouts out

Sjaye Sue: Yay you! That's wonderful that you wrote today and got a lot accomplished. And you are the queen of tying lovely plots together in the end, so I've no worries that you'll do exactly that! And you? Dark and Bloody? Nooooooo! ;)

SIM Sue: Good for you hitting the 10,000 word mark! And yes, writing is the only thing getting me through these days. I am absolutely loving this experience, and instead of draining me, like I thought it might, it's energizing me and getting me through all of this crap! And guess what? I'm no longer feeling that intense urge to hit word count any more! Well, not that often anyway! :) I'm not sure I go as long as 20 mins like you, but I AM getting better!

Susan: I am sure you'll find yourself rolling with your new jury story. I know you can do this!

Well, I have realized today that I am not going to be able to write after the 25th, so I need to have it all done by the 25th. Which means I should be writing 2000 words a day. I'm at 17,127, so I'm on track for regular NaNoWriMo, but I should be at 20,000 today to stay on track for a 25th deadline. Then again, I may just steal the laptop from work to take with me to Michigan and that will give me some extra time!

Is anyone else finding that they're using a LOT more descriptive words in their writing than they used to?

Hugs and good writing vibes to everyone out there. You all (and this insane notion to write a 50K word novel this month) are actually keeping me sane!

Oh and Jennie, am I being completely pushy and self-promoting by saying if you want to add my NaNoWriMo link to the list of links, it's okay? ;)

Good night all!!!!!
