desperanceOkay, it's Tuesday, it's damn near noon: time to check in, then, for the Race to the End of the Book. Last week's numbers for me were 51,698 words, 156 pages: this week -
Or, in pages:
Which is 13,912 words for the week, which ain't bad at all. [Yes, I do know there are people out there to whom that's barely a day's work, but phooey. 2000 words a day is okay by me. Funny how defensive you get, though, in the light of other people's wordcounts...]
Looking at where I am in the story, against the projected length of the book, I guess it and I will overrun by somewhat. This will be no surprise to you, as it is no surprise to me. If I have to do too many extra laps, it may hand the victory to Dave, but hey. In the end, the book's the thing; the race is just for fun (he said, gritting his teeth, girding his loins, discovering that writing can after all be a competitive sport...).
So,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
