Eight years ago yesterday, George Harrison went home. How fortunate we were to have had such a great soul with us on this planet for a while. As I wrote last year, I remain grateful for his “presence” in my life over the past five years, as I found God through him. Well, I found Chris through him, and through her I found God. May He bless them both richly, as they deeply deserve.

At one with God, so he never really left. Hare Krishna!

I can’t believe it, but I did it.

52,750 words!

Thanks for your support along the way, folks. Now it’s onward and upward to actually finish it. The 50,000 words didn’t quite do it.

48,354 words at present- another 1667 takes it to 50,021, which means I’ve completed the NaNo goal, and can finish it leisurely-like.

As of today, I reached the thirty-three thousand word mark. I am feeling great at this point in time, because it means I may actually get the project finished. I am attending a gathering of like minded individuals on the 28th, and will hopefully be able to say I have completed the 50,000 words by the end of the month. That will be wonderful, and I will finally be able to say I’ve done it.

Last night, I passed 19,000 words. I feel this is worthy of a minor celebration, but it’s nothing like the celebration there will be if I reach the fifty thousand mark.

As of 9:30 this evening (GMT) I wrote the 10,006th word of my novel. For the curious, it was “next”. (It’ll make sense in context.)

Break out the streamers! Not quite time for cake yet…20,000 words will be. (By the way, 10k is goal reached, but the story isn’t finished yet.)

At the “close” of writing on day one, I am 1,728 words in. I am enjoying watching the story unfold, and at the same time am anxious to share a synopsis of it, but I fear that I may burn out if I do so too soon. Expect a further update tomorrow, if I manage to get some writing done. I suppose I ought to continue tonight, to cushion myself in case of a meltdown on day two, but I can’t really envisage it.

This is amazing. Found it as a result of StumbleUpon- I wouldn’t normally use that, but on this occasion it was a goldmine.

As foolish as it may be, I’m going to attempt to write something a little longer than my usual short story in November. I may not get there, but I’m only aiming for a fifth of what Nanowrimo ought to be. 10,000 words, versus 50,000 words. I’m not in a position to write 50k this year, but 10 or 20k will do me.

Wish me luck!
