WHY, OH WHY?
OK, now that the I'm finished complaining... I've added some neat little word meters on the side of my blog. They will be tracking how far I am in my current works... which right now are my novel and short story. Looking at those little counters it's easy to feel better about how I'm doing. The little numbers underneath reflect: words written thus far/ total number of words expected. In truth I guess it looks OK, but as you can see from the daily numbers above, I'm not doing so great.
I'm going to the library again tomorrow, and I'm having dinner with some old writing friends of mine afterwards. I really hope to get some words down soon. As much as the pretty meters help me pretend I'm not doing that badly, I know I'm doing doing as well as I could.
I'm going to be digging hard these next two weeks. After that I'm in Cuba for a week, with no access to a computer (how will I survive). I had hoped to be finished my short story - or at least close to finished - before I left, so that I could polish it up and get right into my novel when I come home. That means pushing my daily word counts up into the "existent" numbers.
Smile for my. I need all the encouragement I can get at this point.

I like the word meters -- those are really kind of cool. And now I DO see what you were doing instead of writing, ha ha.
See you tonight. It should be fun. Thanks again for setting this up for us.
