I am behind...

Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it. - Alice Walker

Quote of the Day/Week/Millenium:

I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff-box from an emperor. ~Lord Byron

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

I am behind...

Yes, I am behind. On everything. I have been lingering in the 20,000, which I was very expressly told not to do by the other people on the NanoWrimo forums, and I still have to send a manuscript in to my poetry class. And write a final paper. And.... And....

But I finally made it to twenty-five thousand words, and that's half way. I'm up to 77 pages, and probably more, if I formatted it correctly for submission. That's not really a hundred and seventy five pages, the way "they" say it will be, by the end, but it's enough that I feel like it has the potential to become a novel, at some point.

I'm actually thinking of trying to sell it, as soon as I have time, and then working on it later. Nothing to encourage you better than if you've already cashed the check.

But, I probably won't have time until the end of November, in any event.

And remember that if I've sent you parts of the novel, I need your comments. National novel editing month is just around the corner.
