Okay, so I probably shouldn't have stayed up this late writing pr0n, but I've already hit the overall word count goal for today (13333), though I still have about 800 to go for the individual daily goal. Man, writing ahead of schedule really kind of goofs things up.

Actually, the individual daily 1667 is more of a personal goal, since I hate seeing red boxes on the calendar widget or red bars on the graph. What really matters is the overall count, which I'm very happy to be PWNING. At this point last year (4 am on the 8th, that is), I hadn't even hit 10k yet. And that was writing a story whose plot I knew intricately. Maybe there's something to this whole, "just write anything" philosophy, eh?

Also in looking back at last year's entries, I see that I had a little flipout when I hit 10k and realized that I hadn't expected to make it that far. lol newb. I'll probably do it again, though, once I'm past the 30k where I stopped last year. Dang that sounds like a lot. But dude, look, I'm almost halfway there!



Also, on the eastern front: Sacramento is now trailing Finland by a full thousand average words per writer. Pitsburgh is only behind us by 400. My personal word count is _still_ above even Finland's average. *is smug*

Come on, Sactown, I can't carry you slackers by myself!

Have met both the overall and daily goals for today, all before 11 o'clock. Ahhhhh. May have another evening of enjoying my husband instead of poking away at the keyboard.

Oh, and the black woman who showed up and declared _she_ was my Historian is turning out not to be just any black woman. She's Guinan. Which actually works out better than the BSG priestess I thought she was initially. Guinan is cool!
