I got a word sprint challenge from @NaNoSprints, and I realize that I've been really missing challenges like sprints and wars this year. And probably last year too. I was a write-in social butterfly in Ohio, and also would take whole days to go to my favorite coffee places and write, but I'm missing that in San Diego.

I haven't been to a write-in in ages. I keep looking at the word sprint tool and thinking I should figure it out. Timing can be an issue (I saw one of my buddies had set a public sprint a little while ago, but it was while I was out), but they could be fun anyway.

Day Nine: 1667
Day Ten: 1667
Day Eleven: 1667
Day Twelve: 1667

Total: 20004

Still unwell, but still travelling fairly well. The 11th was a good day for me, and hopefully I can get some more in.

45,557.

Will finish Wednesday, if not tomorrow. It's been a fun exercise. I have no plans to do anything with it, other than let it sit in a virtual drawer in a cloud. But fun nonetheless.

So my MCs are finally on their "first date" but not really a first date. Brody called it a date when he came across some guys harassing Mitch, so it's not really a date date. The way the conversation's going, I want to stab myself in the eye with a fork. SO NOT feeling it this year (sorry to be so vague but I have issues deeper than The Great Heart Attack Of '12 weighing down on me).

50k+ and I'm done. All's well that has an open ending for an adorable main character who overcomes a lot of crap.

Day 14: 1882 words (lately...okay...pretty much ever since November 8 or so, I've been getting a decent head start during the course of the day, making about half of par but then slow down until 10:00 and force myself to make the rest before the date rolls over. Yeah, I can reset my count if I need to, but I prefer not to.)

TOTAL: 30,559

Hit 50k this morning, and am now at 52,585. I'm writing in "chunks" and largely out of chronological order. Yes, I will have some mess to clean up at a later date, but it's helping to keep the words flowing ;) And I'm still writing according to a rather thorough plan!

As of today, my total word count is 53,827. Still a lot of writing/revising to do.

Congrats, everyone. Keep up the good work. No matter your word count, as long as you're writing something, you're succeeding.

Hit the 25k mark just a moment ago, though I plan on getting more done tonight. I'm past all the stuff I had a hard time with and finally to the part of the story I really want to tell, except...y'know....it turns out telling that part is also not easy! Who knew!?
