what a rush

Standard

Check this out: I have written 11724 words of Forging the Forest (working title, anyway), and I needed to hit 11667 today. Go me! I’m on track and ahead by a few. I believe, in the four years that I’ve been doing NaNo, this is the earliest I’ve ever been ahead, if indeed I’ve ever been ahead before the month was almost over…let’s see if I can’t stay this way.
My cousin’s wedding was wonderful, I got my dress sewn and was complimented numerous times on it (though they’re all family, so dunno how much of that was just familial bias or awe at the fact that I actually, yanno, took the time to sew something versus an actual appreciation of the design of the dress), finished knitting the fingerless mitts (though they, and the HP scarf, need to be blocked), and my mom’s show went well last weekend. She’s got another one this weekend, so if you are in the Lou and need some christmas presents, stop on by…
and I finished Elemental Magic, a romance anthology which includes a short story by my favorite author Carol Berg. So sweet to realize the characters are (SPOILER) characters we (sort of) know. Hers was quite the best in the book. I could be biased, I realize.
I wrote 2400 words today. Not quite as good as yesterdays almost 3k, but pretty darned good. I almost don’t know what to do with myself. Guess I’ll get a little extra sleep.
What did you do today?
