And 3,033 words for the day.  I’d buy that for a dollar (and catch up on my word count).

Is it a good sign if I’m reading some character banter and chuckling out loud?

I’m actually pleased by how this process is going so far.

As noted earlier, I’m doing an “edit” on my book of the last two years for this year’s NaNo.  Calculating about 1,000 words an hour when humming along, I’m thus doing 1 hour and 40 minutes of (focused) edit work per day to keep up the equivalent pace.

Had a bit of a glitch over the weekend. Margie and I were out on a “date night” overnight on Friday, and work and helping around the house kept me away from the writing. Ended up doing my day’s chunk of writing later that night, with no particular interference to other flights of ecstasy enjoyed.

Saturday, though, was a complete loss — whole family (including Jim & Ginger) up to see the Pompeii exhibit at the Denver Natural History Museum, then a wander about the rest of the facility, then over to the zoo a bit, then off to an early dinner at Pizzeria Locale in Boulder, then hanging at Mary and Stan’s place … we got home and zonked out.

Sunday, though, I managed to put in the (equivalent) of 2,200 words, making up a bit of the loss.

What was actually cool was I was on a scene of the book I’d not gone over since originally writing it. And I was all, “Yeah, I remember this scene, but I don’t remember how it resolves or  how Roger gets out of the — OH MY GOD!”  Yeah, I pleasantly surprised myself with my own story. That’s kind of cool.

So, bottom line, I’m a bit behind, but anticipate doing some catch up and staying up (even if I have to stay up to catch up). So no worries or angst yet. Game on!

surprise.
