We're about 1,200 words behind as of midnight, and it looks like tomorrow is going to be another 5,000 word day. As long as we don't fall too much behind because of Thanksgiving and the fact that we won't be able to do anything except by phone Saturday, we should do well. We should finish. It's actually close enough, now that we're barely more than a week out from the finish, that I can actually fathom finishing, and finishing wit as many words as we need. And let me tell you, that is something both extraordinarily satisfying and stomach-turningly anxious at the same time. I'm close to burned out, and I think that we'll both be very, very glad when this whole thing is over, win or no.

The Doctor and I hit 50,000 words at a little past 1:30 this morning, with this epic post from the Docter Herself:

"...Yeah."

Yeah. But! It is awesome to hit halfway, and I am enjoying a couple of celebratory drinks whilst trying to build up a buffer for the Thanksgiving holiday, because I know we'll get less work done that weekend. Whether said buffer will turn out better or worse for the influence of mango rum, only time will tell!

12,800 words, which puts us well ahead of where we need to be. Almost an entire day, as a matter of fact, and I'm very pleased about that. In fact, if I actually stop putting off typing up the scene that's sitting in the notebook in front of me, we will be a whole day ahead. Hopefully we'll be able to keep up this pace, and use the buffer as a means to have a nice, relaxing, fluff-filled Sunday. But first, sleep~

Just over 4,000 words written between the Doctor and I before midnight, which puts us 1/25 of the way finished in just a day. I can't say whether we'll be able to keep up this kind of pace for the whole month, but if we can come close to it, we should do fairly well, and that's something I'm quite happy with.
