Try any goddam thing you like, no matter how boringly normal or outrageous. If it works, fine. If it doesn't, toss it. Toss it even if you love it.~Stephen King

Today: 1287 words
Pledge: 500/day
Total: 10,843 words

I've broken the 10k mark for November, 3 days ahead of schedule. I wish more of those words were on my Yuletide assignment, but the closer it gets to Thanksgiving, the more I tend to buckle down on it.

(My very first Yuletide fic was written in a marathon session on Black Friday. Seven hours in bed with a laptop, only emerging for basic needs. I still look back on that with a sort of bemused fondness; to be in college again!)

Not a bad day. I'm starting to think I might get all my Yulefic finished this month rather than next.

I pledged to write 30K, but was hoping to reach 45K, which is starting to look doable. I'm estimating that I've got about 17-20K of fic left to write.

Oops, it's after midnight! No more time counts for the 15th. Only made 200 words, but that's my goal, so it's all good :)

10,000 words total now on all four fics!
