45K down, 5 to go.
You know what? It was fucking hot today. Now I’m sitting in my room listening to Prince and there’s a can of booze and a Red Rooster salad waiting in the fridge. I’m going to watch the first half an hour of Vanilla Sky then get annoyed at it and put on Ghost World.
After that, I’ll get the second-last chapter of my NaNoWriMo novel finished, which will put me at about 47,000 words. Only half of the ending and some holes to fill, then she’s ready. I’m actually quite pleased with the novel, despite the second half being really rushed and artless. The violence is pretty violent and the sex is quite graphic - both I’ve found to be very ‘interesting’ things to write - and the whole ‘use schlock where you run out of witty things to say’ tactic has worked a treat.
Big cheers to all the other NaNoWriMo people who are near the end. Time has just flown by, hasn’t it?

Congratulations. I had a visitor for the first 10 days and so I never actually got started, despite planning the novel. Ah well, next year. But congratulations on making it so far!

If by ‘time has flown by’ you mean ‘every day has been torturous and mind-numbing,’ then yes, it certainly has. Seriously though, congrats. I feel like I’ve still got a long way to go.

Nah, was down at the Tropicana for a film about the Peace Pilgrimage (from Roxby Downs to Hiroshima). Next time eh?
