Later that evening...

Postscript on the evening. Even when sick I can knock off about 1,000 words an hour. 2,000 words a night is just not hard. Which is a weird thing to say; even after I did it last year it seemed like an impossible number. Since then I moved 'Induction' from 50,025 to almost 107,000 words, and the process of word production has really gotten easier and easier.

Another thing: my characters have become much more inventive. They've come up with plot complications and solved them much more handily, more honestly, than "I" could. (No, I'm not going schitzoid!)

I'd like to end with a blessing to Jeff, creator and host until now of NaNoProMe: the progress meter (you can see the link to Jeff's page in the links section of this blog). Apparently his feature has died due to success: I think he had over 38Gb of traffic so far this month, and the ISP is wailing on him. Bro, you've done us all an honor. I wish I could host it from work, but parasitic free enterprise is frowned upon there. What am I saying: any free enterprise is frowned upon! (Note to self: FIND ANOTHER JOB!)

Thank you Jeff, for a great tool that I loved. May luck and good karma haunt your works until the end of time!

(I think I need more meds.... )
