25,000!

I have just eclipsed the NaNoWriMo halfway point and currently stand at 25,179 words.

Excuse me while I do a happy dance....

*happy dance*

The story is addictive to write. It is also very dark, darker than I expected, but since it is about evil sorcery, that doesn't seem too odd and is probably actually a good thing. It is also only at something like outline point 3 out of something like 30 so--go figure--it's also going to be long.

Other random points to mention:

My office is filled with ladybugs. The other day, I counted twenty of them; there are slightly less today, but they're still quite populous. They happen around this time every year and in the spring. I like them though. They're cute.

Anyone willing to do an exorcism on a computer, please let me know. My work comp all but spit pea soup on me today. It first decided not to shut down on Friday (which, being impatient to leave, I did not discover until today). Then it decided that it didn't want to send stuff to the printer any faster than a page every twenty seconds, which makes printing a thirty-page warrant packet an interesting endeavor. It also disagreed with the notion that we should scan warrants into the computer. And so we didn't, and they are sitting in a big pile on the desk.

State comps...grrrr...good only for writing NaNoWriMo novels!

nanowrimo, randomness
