Uhm, I might have been a wee bit optimistic when I thought I could finish the book by Saturday. I did pretty good throughout the week, but didn’t make it to the point I could actually take a day to go play. Which sucked, because spending the day with beledibabe would have been grand.
However, I really think that it was for the best in the long run. I’d also highly underestimated how many more words I really needed to write. I was shooting for about 72-73K.
I started Friday evening when I got home, worked through about 1:00 a.m. and managed to sketch out the rest of the book and finish a few chapters.
Got up Saturday at 6:30 and worked all day.
Got up today, worked on a couple of chapters and then decided I need to relax a bit before I attacked this again.
Started up again around 4:00 and just finished for the day. I’m nearly there. Five chapters to flesh out and I’m done).
Word count for the day: 3883
Word count from Friday-Sunday: 19780
Updated total: 76078.
I’m treating myself by watching Buffy, Season 1 episodes.

This is totally an insane way to finish a book. I think I need to be committed.
