25,718!

Yesterday day wasn't too bad. Yesterday night kinda sucked.

And that's all I'm going to say about that.

Today was much better. Today had great co-workers (working with my boss is always Super Awesome), today had getting out of work early, today had getting over 700 words out before even going to work in the first place.

Best of all, today has a current word count of 25,718.

That's right. Just over 25K. I've hit the midpoint.

This is made a bit more interesting by the fact that I'm 3/4 to 4/5 down with the story. There's a blowout about to happen--the climax--and then it's down-winding and loose-thread-tying. Unless a boll weevil jumps out when least expected, it's pretty easy from here on out. *crosses fingers*

The hard parts were the scenes I just finished today...and they aren't really finished. They're...well, they have some saran wrap thrown on to make sure they don't rot or fall apart, and that's really about it until I finish the story and go back to fix things.

Finishing is the real goal, after all.

Tomorrow promises to be interesting--2 to 5 pm is Buy One Holiday Beverage, Get The Other One Free!--and then I have Friday off, and I will be spending it catching up as fast as possible. I've finally hit the halfway point, yes, but I "should" have 28,339 words, if I had kept up the minimum daily goal of 1,667. I'm halfway through the word count, just past the halfway point of the month. I need to up the output, and how!

Tonight may be a bust, however, as I am losing energy at a rapid pace. Sleeping is starting to sound very nifty right about now...
