Wow, what a weekend

Well it's me again, back out of the dungeons. It feels like ages since I've been here has it really only been less then a week.

Well I have made as much of every minute count as I could stand. I managed to get about 33,000 words written between 4pm thursday and midnight yesterday. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. And provided I can average 6 thousand a day for the remains of the week and I will have met my goal of one hundred thousand words, on two novels even with my late start on the twelvth.

But you want to know the sickest part of the whole thing? I actually found myself standing in the kitchen the other day doing the math. 33,000 in four sessions of 8hrs. Now If I could extend that kind of productivity to the length of the whole month, spread it over four stories.... hmmm next year I might be able to do Two Hundred Thousand words for a Nano times four.

Madness, madness I tell you. I think my museses are trying to do me in.

But sitting down each night and pushing down deep for those 8k was awing and rewarding. It makes me realise that I am truely happy with the creative directions my life has taken in the last year or so.

It also makes me realise that there are some other things I need to work on that have been sort of sqelched while I did my novel writing this month. I'm coming up on the deadline for the map making challenge at the guild, and I haven't even started that yet. I've sort of disappeard from some of my other communities while buckling down on this so I need to check in to let people know I am not dead.

I'll Share some stories of the writing process in my next post which shoul be tomorrow.

Take care of yourselves,
Roving Jack
