Well, I finally went a day without writing. Monday after hanging out with my system I got home and I was too frustrated over the tech issues that I didn't bother and got an early night's sleep. I figured I was 6,000 words ahead of the pace at the halfway point, so why not?
And I mostly made up for it tonight: more than 3,000 words, almost double the daily quota. It's weird though, I've got the goal line in sight and I've already started thinking about the next book. One at a time, George.
I have to admit, this has made me think about writing in the future. During the weekend, I visited with my editing professor/mentor at OU, David Craig, who is now director of graduate studies at the J-school. When I told him about my novel-writing project, he started telling me about OU's new professional-writing master's program. We both agreed that I'd probably had enought time in school as it is, but it is something to think about.
But like I said, I need to focus on getting this book done before anything else. And now I start a work schedule that has me working on 10 of the next 11 days. Time to stock up on the Red Bull.
Word count: 34,253.
