Word crazy!
Wow, I’ve been kind of slacking off at . . . well, everything lately. I had a dream—no, it’s not quite that inspiring, though it has inspired me to write a story.
The story has turned out to be a lot longer than I’d anticipated. Like right now I’m on chapter nine of a story I thought would max out at fifteen pages.
So I’ve been a bit word crazy lately. I was wondering just how addled my poor little mind had gotten, so I did a little math:
A little less than 25,000 words in the story + About 1850 words on MamaBlogga + Just under 4000 words on Marketing Pilgrim (not including large quotations from other articles/blockquotes) = Around 30,000 words.
If that’s not enough to boggle your mind, let’s add this to the equation:
~30,000 words
10 days
Three. Thousand. Words. A day. Even NaNoWriMo only takes 1700 words a day!
Speaking of which, if I did end up getting to 50,000 words in the story within 30 days, do you think I should qualify myself as a winner? The FAQ says no. Pity. I’ll probably have lost my mind entirely by the time NaNoWriMo starts on November 1.

While I was kid-less, writing my books, even then I only averaged at about 2000 words a day. Good job! Don’t burn out though…it’s nasty

September 28th, 2007 at 2:52 pmI’m way past burn out. I’m seriously one foot in the asylum sometimes, I think. I’m so far inside the protagonist’s head most of the time I can’t find my way out.
Which is really interesting, considering I work on the Internet and the story is set in the 1920s….
