So I am buckling down... 5 days left. I have to be done on Friday night by midnight. And currently, I have 11,321 words left. It kind of feels like a lot, but not really when I think about the fact that I have already written 38,679.
In an attempt to get as much writing done as possible, I decided I am cutting out all things extra this week and spending a little extra time on the couch and at the coffeeshop, staring at the computer screen, typing away. I had roped Phil into going with me to the coffeeshop yesterday morning when he told me that he didn't really want to go. Instead, he showed me the list of things he wanted to do around the house. And it was a LONG list.
Then, since he is learning the ropes of this whole having a pregnant wife thing, he asked me if it was ok that he stay home and get those things done.
Oh smart man... Of course it is.
So I headed to the coffeeshop and he stayed home with the dogs to whip the house into shape so we could decorate for Christmas tonight after I got home. I managed to bust out over 3,600 words in just under three hours. If I can keep this up, I will finish the 50,000 words by Friday night. I am not sure my story will be done, but I will have 50,000 words.
And Phil managed to get A TON of stuff done while I was gone, so we were able to get the house totally decorated.
There's a little more than the picture shows: some details on the bookcase, garland on the stairs, candles, etc. But so far, I like it. I'm not too willing to put a lot more effort into decorating, since we won't even be home for Christmas this year. But thanks to Phil, it was a pretty painless process.
He is super smart.
