 3 Day Novel 2011 - I AM DONE!!!!!

That's right! I rocked it! I'm awesome! Wait...what? I have to work tomorrow? What happened to my three day Labor Day Weekend? :) What? I have to work a twelve hour day? Uh-oh. Oh, wait - I have a 23,000+ start on another book!!!! Or, I could just leave it a novella... COOLNESS!!!!!

Hahahaha - I'm a little loopy from the vats of coffee, the Monster, the soda, and some weird coffee concoction with guarana or something that I've been drinking today in an attempt to push on past the exhaustion I was feeling. It worked! 

It was a loooong day. Here's the rundown (I was afraid to post sooner because of how far behind I was in the word count this three day novel, but I kept notes!)

11:00 AM at 15,016 words

12:00 PM at 16,057 words

1:00 PM at 16,480 words

----at this point pages started to matter...I wanted to get close to the 100 page average---

3:00 PM at 18,046 words (72 pages)

4:00 PM at 18,612 words (74 pages)

5:30 PM at 19,503 words (78 pages)

6:00 PM at 20,094 words (80 pages)

7:00 PM at 21,298 words (86 pages)

8:00 PM at 22,535 words (93 pages)

9:30 PM at 23,658 words (95 pages)....DONE. 

I'm close enough to the 100 pages to be happy. Although, I would have preferred 30,000 words. NEXT YEAR. And, note to self...I need to go more wacky. That's one tip for anybody considering doing this. Don't do anything near realistic. My next novel is going to have aliens, time travel, multiple dimensions, and zombies. Seriously.

Yeah, it's the caffeine talking right now. Hahaha... I've just been told I'm a little loopy. Yup, that's true enough.

Wow, I'm really done. I can go relax and watch...television. Mad Men is cued up on Netflix. Oh wait...do I have a Breaking Bad to download on itunes?

I'm scatterbrained. It's been a long weekend. I'm done! That's the important thing! Hooray!!!!!!! And, that was despite....a little procrastination. 

Like, taking cute pics with my super cute dog, Licorice, and her new hair cut! Hey, she was super supportive this weekend! And, only tried to tempt me with playing...well, all weekend, but I know she loves me and is totally excited about my novel. :)

And, of course, I must thank Kermit...who provided some musical accompaniment in the form of The Green Album. I still have Manamana in my head. And, yes, that made it into the novel.

Until next year.....
