Stats, baby.
Current wordcount: 73,043. Goal wordcount: 80,000. Projected date I would hit 80,000 words: 1/3/09. Projected draft 0 wordcount: 76,833. Projected draft 0 completion date: 12/28/08. I’m writing 1000 words a day instead of 500 because I’m on break, and...Current stats
Current wordcount: 69,959. Official wordcount goal: 80,000. Date spreadsheet predicts I’ll hit 80,000: January 2. Predicted draft 0 wordcount: 75,488 (ouch). Predicted day I’ll hit predicted draft 0 wordcount: December 24. I’m not that worried about...Of course. Sigh.

Pretty much working, exercising, and writing my novel. And nagging my sister to put dog pictures on Flickr. I think the world needs more pet pictures, don’t you? Isn’t that an Avenue Q song? “The Internet is for Pet Pictures”? Current novel...Congratulations! it’s a novel.
My novel-in-progress is over 40,000 words. Yay, it’s a novel! It’s not a complete novel, mind you. In fact, it’s a half-complete novel. But it’s 40,000 words, and a girl needs...Subscribe
