Month: November 2001

Sixty degrees outside! The writing gods hate me! Oh well, I’m plunking on. 27278. I don’t know that I’ll get to 30,000 today.

Missed the meteor showers last night, so I guess I won’t be writing about them in the novel. Our waitress for breakfast this morning went down to the CAPE last night to watch, and was back and at work this morning! Holy cow, she’s gonna be WAY tired later!

Got a jump this morning and now I’m up to 26750, aiming for 30k by the end of the day to be back on track. WIth the long weekend approaching, I’m going to attempt to actually FINISH the 50,000 words (I don’t think the novel will be done at that point) so I won’t have to worry about it the last week of November. I just hope the project I am starting at work tomorrow doesn’t suck up huge quantities of time.

This is the reason I’m always distracted from getting my writing done.

Okay. You’ve waited long enough. Here is a micro-excerpt from the novel.

“Batman has no skills. None. Well, he’s smart, and he looks good in a utility belt. Robin is even lower on the food chain. He’s like Batman’s admin assistant.”

See? Now you want to buy a copy of it, and it isn’t even out yet!

I can’t believe I’m about to hit 25,000 words! Holy crap! I actually wrote 25,000 words in the past 16 days! It seems to be only 71 pages in my Word file, but I’m not going to worry about that now. I am just going to go back, write the 300 words I have left to hit 25,000 and go get some shut-eye to celebrate!
