Stuck at 109,000 words (rounded) on the current novel due to Toddlerus Interuptus. I am dead serious and not exagerating when I say it was easier to write in a third-world warzone with weekly bouts of incoming, power outages, internet crashes, dust everywhere, and 12+ hour shifts 6 days a week than it has been as a stay-at-home dad with a toddler. There's something telling there, and it should give people significant respect for housewives and single mothers :)
That being said, I have the rest of the book fairly well mapped out, several scenes written ahead of time ready to insert, I just need to bridge the gaps between them. If I am not up to 150k words by September, though, I need my butt kicked.

Hi everybody! I've been trying to write 2,000 words a day on my novel. Am just finishing up week 3, and have amassed 35,800 words or thereabouts. I am typing this and patting myself on the back instead of writing today's 2,000. Just FYI.

Nice job, I've been setting my goal at 400 a day. My social life would tank at 2000 a day. That's like 5 pages /day.(Given 10.5 Arial font so that a given page is about the length of a page in a published novel.)

What is this "social life" of which you speak ?
Two more issues resolved in the current pass. I really need to stop flailing about and tackle the big ones head-on. I intend to do this either tomorrow or Saturday.

Allright so it's as much my Minecraft habit as trying to get everyone I know to tell me what they think of my writing... You caught me.
