Not that anyone is excited about this but me...drum roll please...I just passed 30,000 words! I am 19 days into this writing event with 12 days to go, and I think I'm actually going to make 50,000 words this time. For the first time ever. And it's not that this draft is the next big thing, but I'm putting on paper thoughts that have been batting around among the cobwebs in my head for several years. So it feels good, and it feels satisfying, and it makes me happy and excited. (I know, I need to work on my long run-on sentences. My draft is full of them).

I'm taking the afternoon off today, but I'll be back to writing tomorrow after church. I need to get ahead on my word count so I'm not typing into the wee hours of the morning when my kids are here for Thanksgiving week end. Oh my word, I need to get going on Thanksgiving preparations, too. Life is BUSY.
