2925 is an awesome baby step.
I need to get at least 1500 done before I head off to bed tonight.

14582, and my eyes/head hurt too badly to continue.
officially, i got 3155 for the day. but since i always end up writing past midnight, 3567 is my actual total. still behind, but a few more weeknights like this will be awesome.

I just hit 15,550. Still well behind today's projected target of 20,800 but I'm bridging the gap. And in danger of running out of plot again.
A new 2,500 words are posted at my blog, but I've written a couple of thousand past those.

Okay, turning in for the night at 18,095. Now I really need some plot.

Currently on 13240. Very behind, and getting moreso as I go. By the end of Saturday (tomorrow) we should be on 25 000 in order to be on track. Lordy.

just dragged my ponderous bulk across the 20k line (20061). i'm sure i'll be stoked about this after a full night's sleep and possibly a frontal lobotomy.

Suzanne and I both just passed the 25,000 word mark. We're both caught up and on track. In fact, we're a little bit ahead.
HUGE relief. We missed about five days last week so it's been a massive catch up. We've been sitting here next to each other staring into laptops and furiously typing away to make up for our decadence last week.

Oh my lord am I glad I'm back on track. And also halfway, woot!
So I wrote 9000 words yesterday. And it begged the question, how many words could you write in a day? Before your hands and eyes totally gave out? I felt like I was getting there. It was almost 2AM before we stopped, so that probably accounts for the tired eyes, shaking hands and total inability to string together a sentence in my mind. It was pretty tough, and yet we didnt devote all day to it or anything. We started writing at 5PM, had a few diversions such as dinner and ice cream, and still got back up to our target. So I am thoroughly optimistic about my chances at completing this. Even if I fall behind in the weeks I know I'm capable of getting through a whole stack on weekends.
Yeeeaaah.

totally doable. you'll cross the finish line yet.
can i suggest you not do the coffee OD to do it, though? nice in theory, in practice it makes you sick and jittery.

my blood is already abut 15% coffee as it is. i have a remarkably high caffeine tolerance. i really like coffee. i will continue with coffee. i will wean myself off the coffee with tea all december.
on a more or less related note, i described my book to someone this afternoon as "douglas adams and dave eggers have a baby with a head injury." it only occurred to me an hour and a half later just how accurate this really is.
