25090 .... and counting ....

today is the fifteenth ... halfway through the month of november .... and half way through the national novel writing month challenge .... i was behind ... but now i am back on track after an evening of plowing through writer's bad attitude (akin to writer's block, but not writer's block) .... i am so so so so so so so so so so so so very happy i just can't even stand it..... i do believe i really am going to be able to pull this off .... fifty thousand words in a month ....

i have "stickies" on my computer .... it is a program that makes electronic post it notes ... my desktop, like my life, is cluttered with post it notes ... one post it note on my desk top is a nano recap .. so i can track my numbers ... when i got to what milemark ....
