Word Whore Update

Well. Son is in Bug Camp this week, so I'm back to the Word Whoring. I passed the 40,000 word mark (I'm at 41,195) But that's not quite halfway to the 90,000 word goal that I may have to revise, just for my sanity.
But I want some kind of draft by the end of summer. I realize that I will have to do revising, in that I have some ideas about earlier chapters, etc. But it will be nice to finish a draft of something!!
I am here at the downtown library where they are setting up for the summer festival already. It's a bit crazy outside, with the tents and whatnot. MB and I saw a dog swimming in the fountain.
Dog update: Gus is okay. His bite seems to be healing and he hasn't been complaining, so I assume that means he is alright. We're keeping him away from the dog park for the time being. He almost yanked my arm off last night. Geez!

Good job. Quantity, quantity!

Proud to know you (word count). Poor Gus! It's enough to shake his confidence in his own furry kind. Wish I were hanging out with you at the library, writing--but the literary conference thingie is going pretty well too.

Yeah, what happened to Gus? And 40,000? Wow. How many words a day? I'm going to have to up my ante (or some sort of poker betting reference...)

Bug Camp?? *I* wanna go to Bug Camp!! (PS I'm glad Gus is feeling better. Of course, he's a young male, so that's a pretty tiny brain he's working with...which is to say, sometimes he may just *think* he feels better!)
