i was surprised to notice recently that my previous journal entry has been viewed some 900 times. who is actually reading this garbage? knock it off!
i actually have a lot to talk about. my life has been interesting, and getting more so.
i'm going to keep it to myself though. not out of mistrust, or contempt, or egotism.
only because i don't care. this world is a graveyard full of ghosts.

Who am I even kidding anymore?
Myself.
I'm still technically working on this novel. Actually I'm still happy with the progress I've made on it. My biggest problem is that I don't write unless I'm interested. Combine that with my unrelenting need to update, revise, rewrite, and generally muck about with things I've already written instead of making any kind of actual progress in terms of word count, and you've got yourself a recipe for a hellishly slow writing process.
As it stands I'm sitting at just over 65,000 words which is 110 pages in my main document. I'm using Baskerville at size 12, single spaced. Seeing how far I've come since the initial concept and handwritten

Last time it took me most of a year to hit 50k words, and I haven't done any writing in a couple months. Even so, I am satisfied with my current project. None of you will ever see it, of course. It's not for you.
Other than that, life is good. Church and work. Halloween. Slightly increased social life. Winter. Possible new job. Possible tattoos. I don't like change and I don't trust anyone.
I got a new hat.

i'm just now getting to the 50 page mark (palatino, 12 pt., single-spaced) in my main document. slowly but steadily things are coming together. i guess i could have waited until november and done another nanowrimo post, but i've actually been on kind of a roll lately and i'm more excited about it than i care to admit. it's nice to know that even a dead body like me can still be pleased about something. i'm constantly bogged down by my own obsessive attention to detail, but i can honestly say i'm satisfied with the work i've done so far.
