Jen gives me a copy of The Warriors on DVD as a 50k word gift. What a wonderful movie….
And, as I discovered, a perfect metaphor for the recent journey I went through. Dig it:
The Warriors (me, preferably Swan, since he’s the badass, but I’ll take any of em…Cowboy, or one of the fantastically afro’d guys….) are forced to fight their way home from the Bronx (November 1st) to Coney Island (December 1st) through all the gangs of New York (50,000 words.)
Amazing, huh?
Everyone focuses on the classic line from Warriors: “Waaaaaaarriors….come out and plaaaaaa-aaay.”
But I’d like to offer up this new line that should always be remembered and often quoted:
“Can you count, suckas?”
Wonderful.

Soooo hey, there’s a weight off my shoulders. Thanks to everybody who kept asking me what my word count was. It’s done, it’s done, it’s done!
