Well, looky here. Things are starting to look a little better around here. I haven't tested this out on the Mac yet - I'm sure it'll look horribly wrong on some platform or another. But it doesn't look bad from where I'm sitting right now.

This weekend was fantastic as far as writing goes. I caught all the way up to where I'm supposed to be with the daily quota, and managed to write some sections that I thought were really interesting in the process. The writing might not be so hot, but the concepts are good, and it's the concepts that will count later during the painstaking revision process.

It's clear to me now that 50,000 words will be a great achievement for me, but it will not be the end of my novel. If my book ended there, it would be a pretty disappointing story I think. I may be carrying the plot along a little slowly right now, but I'll have to see how it turns out when I get to where I'm going. Pacing can be fixed later, as well.

Breanna finally posted an excerpt, which is very dramatic and exciting and makes me want to read more of what she's writing. Hopefully there will be more to follow.

Okay, enough procrastination. It's time for dinner, then to meet my daily writing quota (so meager compared to the thousands of words I churned out yesterday... yee haw!)
