Getting Closer

Well, my word count is up to 26,199. I wonder what 26,199 looks like in book format? How many pages is that? How thick of a book is that? Is it like a tech manual that cam with your new computer...that most people never read...just like my novel? YIKES!

Anyway, like I said before, I am not writing this novel to be published (but it'd be nice if it were), I am writing it to finish NaNoWriMo. I just gave them $25 donation so they can reach out to educate young adults....oh, and, uh, I get a postcard and two stickers - check out the Viking helment on the left - I love Viking shit. I love Viking shit because I am a sailor and have Viking ancestors! Ever hear Immigrant Song by Led Zepplin? That's them, my ancestors.

The only crappy thing about participating in NaNoWriMo is it's so easy to give in to the ADD and check email, check facebook, look at CNN, or Yachtworld. Heck I just emailed my friends a link for a boat I'd like to get...someday....Here, check it out:

I hate sailboats! And email....and CNN....and Facebook....and my iSnod.
