I squeezed past the 30,000 word mark last night, and with just nine days to go (including today), I should make it to the finish line as long as I continue placing my butt in the seat, and the fingers on the keyboard.
Last night's writing had some surprising, unplanned elements, but they ended up being very pleasing in the overall story of the book, and the continued motif of how much of her life Nickie chooses to write in advance.
Today was a bonus. With the computer system down at work, I managed to write over 1000 bonus words, so I am way ahead for today's tally. A couple more word wars and I shall be done, and I should just about be reaching the second turning point of the story.

Cafepress is having a 20% sale off calendars at the moment, so now is a great time to grab a Chickollage Collage Poetry Calendar, and have a collage poem a month for every year in 2007.
Visit the Chickollage shop for unique Christmas gifts. It's hard to believe, it's just over a month away!

30,000 words! How awesome is that!? Next year, I'm in. I've visited your site twice now and you are an inspiration. Keep on writing.
Go for it, gatekeeper. Knowing that a lot of people are doing it is great for the momentum, and if you can find an on-line writing buddy and have writing wars, it's even better.
Writing wars! Now that sounds interesting. Sounds like you're having a lot of fun. I'll be there next year.
keep it up. good luck
