Day Five (Word Count: 10,885)

I didn't get much time to write today.

Wait. Scratch that.

I didn't use all my time available today. I couldn't get out of the house, so I had to wait until late in the evening to work; I just finished a few moments ago, actually.

The weird part was that I hadn't checked the word count for a while and hadn't been paying much attention. When I tallied it before popping over here, it turns out that I wrote exactly 1,667 words.

This wouldn't necessarily have much significance, except that this is the exact word count per day one is supposed to have to get to the 50,000 words in 30 days. I'd been aiming for 1,700 a day, giving me a 33 word lead (not a lot, but giving me almost 1,000 extra words in a 30-day stretch). Maybe it's just sleep deprivation, but that seemed kind of kooky to me.

I have yet more stuff to report, but it'll have to wait again--I need some sleeps in me if I'm going to get to work tomorrow. Are you guys tired of this strange writing mush that seems to leak from my brain every time I post here now? I mean, I know you want updates as to word count so as to be prepared with your scourges and whips, but do you want to read this rambling about process and random writing trivia?

In any case, it's nice to know that I've got over 20% of this thing done by now. I'm tired and pleased.
