This is it.

As I pause to write this, I have just updated my word count to 23,154. So, the offical count is 26,846 words to go in twenty one hours. Do I still think I can make it?

Yes.

The story is coming tome,I ammerely trying to write it down in between distractions. I can’t truly blame the distractions for the hole I am in tho, I’ve procrastinated. I’ve found time to play some Xbox and PokerStars, if a lot less than usual. And I’ve taken time to write here. All of these things, I am going to say, are part of the process. Do I wish that I was at this stage of prolificity a coupleweeks ago? Sure. But the deadline may be part of it.

The fact is, there is a story needing to come out, and it’s going to happen in the next twenty three hours or maybe never at all. That’s just the way it works.

If I finish, there will be some sort of icon to show that I have tomorrow and I will make one last post about the wholenanowrimo deal.If not, maybe nothing on nano until next november. I never talk about the Cubs after a loss. It’snot that I think it is the end of the world if I don’t make this arbitrary deadline, it’s just that it might be time to focus on something else.A nd write postsin this blog about other writing topics, or even write a couple short stories.

So again, wish me luck.
