I’m at 7,367 words today. All that evening fun took its toll this past week. I need to reach 13,333 by the end of the weekend to start the NaNoWriMo week out on target. Yeah, bayby!
Got almost 900 words from two 15 minute word wars this morning. I see more of these in store for the weekend catch-up.
