<----------- Ain't that cool?????

I'm so almost there. I have that hunger in the pit of my stomach to bear down and try to hit the 50,000 tonight. Another 1867 words? That's nothing write. And plus I am in a section of my story that I have been looking forward to writing for a while. I there and just starting. I just had one bombshell laid on her. I have to explain and work my way through this section and then lay the next bombshell on my main character.

Then my novel will take on a whole new level of urgency.

But as for hitting 50,000...not tonight. I will feel good about hitting the goal tomorrow and I have a bottle of wine all lined up for making the feat. As I said before, I'm shocked that I have been able to do this. I'm also upset that I haven't been able to do anything like this prior to this month. I now have around 150 pages of a story written. Amazing. Another 50,000, which is realistic at this point, and I will have a work of 300 pages. Insane. I want to have it completed by the end of the year. I should have anywhere from 54,000-56,000 words done by bed November 30.

You want to know what I am thankful for? I am thankful for the new confidence that NaNoWriMo has accorded me with this months work. It has been liberating and exciting. It hasn't been as hard as I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be impossible...remember? But I am intrigued that there are those who have doubled my word count in the same period of time. Are they for real? Wow.

Happy Thanksgiving all!
