“Just when things are looking up

you start acting like a horse’s butt”

That’s Morcheeba. That’s “What New York Couples Fight About”

That’s just funny stuff.

Where are we? 20,717! Goal has increased to 1757 words a day. That’s 29,792/17 (or just about) …

it goes on and on. Very nearly at the halfway point.

still. angry.

I’ve got this chart now that is tracking my progress on this thing, so I’ve kinda slacked on updating this dealie over here. Suffice it to say that I’m still sorta on target. Right now at 18,328 words and if I write 1759 words a day, I’ll get this finished by the 30th (current pace: Dec 3rd)

so it is. my head hurts and i’m hungry like a mug.

6584. About 100 words short for the day but I’m frickin exhausted. Sure, I wasted a good amount of writing time playing Shenmue 2, but we all knew that was going to happen. Sixty five hundred words. Eleven pages or so. Haven’t written that much in….blazow.

6138. 12%. Fits and spurts. Stops and starts. 331 cramped and sloppy words on the train ride home. Amazing what it starts to come to when you weigh your words by the number and not the meaning.

I’m lucky if half of these words are even in English.

4952 words. Just 44 shy of yesterday’s quota. Not so far behind. But then, where do today’s words come from?

This sometimes gains momentum and 300 words are nothing, and sometimes I can’t even remember the English language anymore.

And I think, these words here are wasted.

2816. Trying so hard to get to near 3000 for the first day, just to make the rest of the going a little easier, but it’s tough tough tough.

Well-wishes from so many people, what a day.

698 words. The idea is not as good as I thought….or maybe it is. Funny how up until midnight, I was excited about this whole thing, then as if the clock had ominously struck the new month, I was gripped with fear. How on earth?

With the first word, I thought, “I just have to do this 50,000 more times.” Now I’m 1/71 of the way through. Amazing how quickly the multiplier drops. If I can do this 71 more times, I’ll have written 50,000 of the worst words ever combined in the English language. Maybe I should write it in French. Those guys have never said anything good.

(Hey, a French joke! Those always do well…..)

Wish I could find the energy (and the words) to stay up and get a few million written down….

….oh the fear and loathing and the hatred I will garner when everyone realizes I’m all talk and I’m just Some Hack….

whee!
