Day Twenty-Seven Total: 64,158 words so far

Today was a good day, probably because I ended up writing in all sorts of places. I started out in front of the computer as usual, then wrote on a bus, a bus stop bench, and I wrote while walking home (i.e. along footpaths and across roads). There's something kind of fun about risking your life (in a non-risky way) while writing, something that's generally seen as quite a non-risky activity. Maybe next year I'll start extreme-writing or something.

I have 5k more words to go-ish. Since every time I make an estimate it seems to balloon, I actually think it's pretty likely that I'll end up with over 70k words of story. That's kind of amazing. It's so much longer than the stuff I'm usually able to write and keep my attention on.

The interesting thing about this year's novel is that not that much actually happens in it, but I'm still managing to hit my word count by making lots of little things happen, that don't have too much to do with the overarching plot.
