The Brain Dump

OK. So I've fallen out of the blogosphere for the past week or so, but the good news is I was not completely idle. I have been writing (most) every day and clawing my way closer and closer to the 31,000 total. The bad news is I'm not nearly as close as I want to be. I can't tell you on what day I did what, but I can tell you that I have a grand total of 23,111 words.

So. That's not 31,000. But I have two more days. Two more days to write 7,889 words. 3,944.5 words a day. 328.70833333 . . . words an hour (if I only write for twelve hours). That's . . . doable . . .

OK. So. The lesson is: meeting up with old friends and spending time playing video games with my mother (that's right--my mother!) takes time. This is doable. This is totally doable. No one's putting me on the Altar of Shame!

I will post my word count tomorrow probably around the same time as tonight. Then Sunday, the 31st, I will give continuous word count updates until what I am assuming will be my Moment of Glory--as I stand triumphant above the month of August and laugh and cry and scroll through my 31,000 words.

See you tomorrow.
