Well, it is nearly midnight in nanowrimo world...

And my novel is about a quarter done.  Whew, how weird is that?  Am I about a quarter way through the story?  It is hard to tell since I have the outline in my word document and I’m basically writing where ever I want to within the outline.  I don’t know if that’s how anyone else does it, but that’s how I’m doing it.

My word count is 15,027 which is just a little bit ahead of schedule.  And I’m finding fiendish glee in being briefly ahead of some other folks on my buddy list who totally left me in the dust early on.  I hope to get back to the work tomorrow sometime, though I must admit, since I’m a little ahead and also getting pretty tired – I may take an evening off.  These late evenings make it hard to get up for work and I don’t want to wear myself out with this.  I must say though, seeing the word count go up is a pretty satisfying feeling.

Oh, and I decorated a wedding cake today.  I made it with hard drying icing that gets hard as a brick, and it is designed to be used as a display in the bakery.  I'm really delighted with how it turned out.  So I hope it goes over well with the customers - who knows, I could be doing alot of these.
