75,000 words and counting

As of this evening, my novel has hit 75,736 words.

And no, it isn't done yet. I thought it would be, by 75,000, but the story just keeps going. I know what the climax is, and I know what steps I need to take to get there, but all this other stuff keeps happening in between! Still, it's exciting. I don't think I have ever written anything this long.

And I do still plan to finish it by the end of November. (Really. Really, really.)

If I can keep it under 100,000, I should be able to, based on the pace I have been keeping.

Also, on a completely unrelated note, saw Twilight the movie last night. It was bad. It really was. In so many ways.

Maybe now, I can finally stop being obsessed with the series.

Oh, and I went to the annual discounted booksale I go to today. The one where brand new books cost $4 and $2 and all sorts of other fun, low prices. I am pleased to report I spent under $50 this year. But they had a terrible selection - or lack thereof - on the scifi/fantasy table. So much for stocking up on new books to read. Oh well.
