31,299/50,000

Almost managed 6k today... in about 2.5 hours. Eep! I said this morning that I was going to do at least 5k today... and then promptly hit a writer's block.  Well, not so much a writer's block so much as a writer's lack of motivation.  All day I sat here with my computer open staring at it and from the time I posted on Facebook until about 7 o'clock or so, I managed a whopping 286 words. I just had no motivation - and I kept getting distracted by the various football games that were on.  Finally I had the kids come in and watch some lame cartoon movie and that gave me the focus (or lack of real distraction LOL) that I needed and I just cranked.  I think I'm finally seeing where my novel is going, plot-wise.  It's ridiculously dialogue-heavy, though, and will need some major edits, but I'm getting through it and that's the important thing.

The only time I'll have to write tomorrow (assuming I don't wake up uber-early again) will be at lunch so my word-count for tomorrow will probably suck.  That's ok... that's why I got so far ahead while I could.

G'night peeps. I can feel the Lunesta starting to kick in.  Catch y'all later!
