20340 - Into the forbidden zone.

So I broke 20,000 today. I'm well on my way to eating up the last of my word deficit, and am prepared to sail onward to mid-month, feeling footloose and fancy-free.

If only there was some kind of proverbial pony - somewhere between getting back on the horse and walking. I typed up a bunch last night (nowhere near enough, but a bunch) and worked out some things during class today.

Sadly, it's ridiculously cliche, but as pointed out by you and the guy who wrote the book, I can worry about that later, or not. Whatev's. I just gotta get it written.
