Catching up to last year!
Day: 08/30
Word count: 17,801/50,000
So, what in the world was I worrying about yesterday?! It's only 7:45pm on Day 8, and although I may do some more writing later (no guarantee), I now see that I completely skipped writing on Day 8 last year, ending the day with 17,828 words in 2002! So I am essentially precisely where I was last year. (I have this urge to write a 30-word sentence to push me over last year's total, mwah hah hah!) I've got 90% of the plot and storyline scoped out, either mentally or in little notes to myself in a file, although there are still a few twists and surprises I have to weave in seamlessly. (I'm just saying that to make you think I'm so skillful, you know. :) ) Tomorrow will be a morning visit to The Matrix Revolutions with the younger teen and his chums, and an afternoon write-in! Can't wait for it, yay!
I didn't get to see the lunar eclipse tonight, it was pouring rain. But I suspect it really did happen, even though I didn't see it. I'll take their word for it... this time, anyway.
I hope my NaNo friends are having a wonderful time at their writing retreat house. I miss being with them, and indulging myself and my muse. But I also enjoyed spending time with my family today, too. We make our trade-offs and we find the joy in the moment. The mantra for today.
