Finally…I’m there…

November 18, 2007

It was a beautiful weekend, sunny, but cold. I wanted to hike some trails, but with all the hunters out in the woods, I was worried I’d get my ass shot off. It’s happened to others before.

So, I glued my still intact butt to my chair and dedicated much of the weekend to working on my novel. From Friday night through Sunday night, I was able to hammer out about 9,000 words, ending up with a total word count of: 30,321 – which means I’m a little above par as of the 18th.

I’ll have to continue to write at least in the 2K neighborhood for the rest of the week, as I will have no time at all to write on Thanksgiving Day. My oldest daughter is coming back from school for most of the week, and the whole tribe will be heading out to a big family gathering for the annual feast. There will be lots of food, conversation, food, laughing, food, drinks, food…You get the idea. It’s gonna be a good time.
