I was able to bust through into Chapter 3 on Sunday, ripping through 1,800+ words in a single day. This was despite the fact that I had to take a lengthy break in the middle of the day to get all of our leaves cleaned up. My father helped me out, so a shout out of thanks go to him, of course. I’ll be repaying the favor by helping him setup his digital camera so he can download the roughly 3,000 photos he’s taken since they got the darned thing, and never bothered to figure out how to get them off.

I think I ended up picking up more leaves than I wrote words, but I’m okay with that. According to my progress sheet, I met 111% of my daily total (which is 1,667 words per day), and 97% of my cumulative daily total (which yesterday was 6,668 total words). I’m making pretty good progress, and the novel is coming together in ways I had never intended, which is awesome. I’m now 13% of the way towards 50,000 words. Now I just have to hope that my momentum continues past the fourth day.

How is everyone else making out?
