44,000 done tonight! I have an outside shot to make 50,000 by Friday night, which is the mini challenge posted on the site by Chris Baty. If I can put 2000 words out on Thanksgiving, which may be possible, I'll hit it on Friday. If not, then Saturday will be the day that pass the 50,000 word mark. Insane. I never thought I would make it. It will be an awesome feeling.

At the same time, why has it taken me so long to do this? It has been there the whole time. The ability to create and write is there. I know it. My short stories, when I wrote them were polished and normally well received at online sites. I didn't spend enough time with them before publishing, that was all their issues were.

It's excited and disappointed in myself all at the same time. Wild right?
