Word crazy!

Wow, I’ve been kind of slacking off at . . . well, everything lately. I had a dream—no, it’s not quite that inspiring, though it has inspired me to write a story.

The story has turned out to be a lot longer than I’d anticipated. Like right now I’m on chapter nine of a story I thought would max out at fifteen pages.

So I’ve been a bit word crazy lately. I was wondering just how addled my poor little mind had gotten, so I did a little math:

A little less than 25,000 words in the story + About 1850 words on MamaBlogga + Just under 4000 words on Marketing Pilgrim (not including large quotations from other articles/blockquotes) = Around 30,000 words.

If that’s not enough to boggle your mind, let’s add this to the equation:

~30,000 words
10 days

Three. Thousand. Words. A day. Even NaNoWriMo only takes 1700 words a day!

Speaking of which, if I did end up getting to 50,000 words in the story within 30 days, do you think I should qualify myself as a winner? The FAQ says no. Pity. I’ll probably have lost my mind entirely by the time NaNoWriMo starts on November 1.

I’m way past burn out. I’m seriously one foot in the asylum sometimes, I think. I’m so far inside the protagonist’s head most of the time I can’t find my way out.

Which is really interesting, considering I work on the Internet and the story is set in the 1920s….
