I know, right? I was looking for a good gif on tumblr...then I saw it. I feel so giddy after writing because I'm actually happy with my characters this time. They're not annoying. Maybe it's because I'm writing fantasy. My realistic fiction annoys me a lot of the time. I want to keep writing today like I would love to hit the 10,000 mark. But...I have a gazillion other things to do.

Wow. I have much to learn from you. *bows*
I don't have anything on the schedule tomorrow and most of my family will be gone, so I plan to write as much as I can and just add a bigger and bigger safety cushion to my word count. I probably won't knock out six thousand words like you did, but it should be good for me.
