I have written over 100,000 new words this year!

Heck yeah! Now, when you really think about this in theory, 100k words is only like 2 NaNoWriMos and since we are close to 8 months into the year and I could have in theory done 50k every month, it makes me feel like a slacker. But in practice, I’ve been writing a ton more this year than ever before and I am only under 300 words from on pace with my goals for the year and that is the point of this exercise so yay me!

Someday, if all I do is write I’ll aim for that 50k a month, OK? But since I have a more than full time job right now, I’m happy with this.  Baby steps.

But here’s what I’m thinking… It’s not much higher than my current goal so I think I should aim for 200k for the year. What do you guys think?

Hopefully I’ll hit a higher word count by the end of tonight, we’ll see how the day plays out. Lots of being blind-sighted by drama the last few weeks, its messing with my work schedule. But for now, a dinner break with my cutey.

    Thanks, Deb! It's funny how it feels like very little and a lot all at once. :-)
