Ah no, I was off there. I've only done about 400 words on Paid in Gold and Blood, but it's still going well.

1050 words on the new short story. I think it may sit there for the night. I've moved over to Paid in Gold and Blood and it's actually moving forward a bit, too. I think I've done about 800 words there. So, a couple hundred more and I'll have my 100,000.
I didn't think it was going to be this hard on the last day, but there are reasons. The death of George Harrison is one. Russ learning that he will probably have to have a second operation on his hand (he'll know Monday) is another.
But here I am, writing away. I'll get there.

The last day of the month. I have most of my dare stuff completed, and I might get the last section. It's hard to say. I'm about 1000 words from making 100,000, too -- and I will do that, though it seems as though I'm having a very hard time drawing the words out. I've two new pieces -- yeah, like I needed to start something new, right? One is based on a Forward Motion Exercise, and it's about 700+ words right now.
The other is a Christmas Teddy Bear Poem. Last night I said I was not doing a story for this year. I've done one every year for the last seven, and I just didn't have a story in me. I was right. I had a poem, which now runs two pages and is probably better than the horrible story I put out last year. That's not saying a lot. I'm short one line and a title.
Hey, words are words at this point.
Okay, maybe four more lines because the last two didn't fit in quite as well as I hoped.
Ah, that's better... 460 words for the Teddy Bear Poem. Total of 792. That's done for now.
I'm sitting at 795 words for At the End of the Map -- that's all new for today.
and 47,322 words on Paid in Gold and Blood at the end of yesterday.
I need a total of 2452 words to reach 100,000. I have 1255, which means I'm a bit over half way there. I can do this. I don't know why it seems to hard!
Off to write....

I finally finished about an hour ago
7441 words, completed story of no use.
And an article done at 1041 words.
Now I have only two unfinished pieces for the year. I pulled them both up, but While the Gods Sleep just didn't catch me. I am getting a few words done on Paid in Gold and Blood.
So, we'll see how it goes!
