Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze

Here's today's progress on my fifth Clockwork Century novel - a book about teenage juvenile delinquents, hypothetical ghosts, and gangland mayhem within the walled city of Seattle ... now with Bonus! zombie Sasquatch and the return of everyone's favorite elderly cross-dressing Native American princess:

Project: Inexplicables
Deadline: September 15, 2011
New words written: 4014 (yay!)
Present total word count: 66,562 words





Things accomplished in real life: Daily run/climb in all its sweaty glory; day #2 of yoga on the Wii Fit (I wanted baby steps, okay?); went to Walgreens for AAA batteries because my sensor bar on the Wii was dead; brushed the cat, which took a ridiculous amount of time; did some research; took a couple of phone calls.

Other: Another good fat writing day, huzzah! Hey, technically that's 4K, right there.

Other, redux: I'd keep going, but I need to freshen up and tidy up before leaving for Kat's event tonight at U-books. Ergo, I'm cutting today a little bit short.

Total narrative fiction word count for 2011: 66,562 words
