I've noticed that one of the things that sucks most about having an idle summer is that it's hard to find a good time for me to write. Between learning how to make wire wrap jewelry and reading Joanne Bertin's Bard's Oath (and subsequently flipping longingly through Amazon and eBay looking at harps because the book really makes me want to play the harp), there just doesn't seem to be a lot of time in the day to sit around getting sucked into imaginary worlds.

Nevertheless I plug on, wishing that it were November, of all times, because Nanowrimo.org has that fantastic little bar visual where you can watch your word count grow. I think I need a visual. One off the things that I love about the program that I use to write is that it keeps me from being distracted by other sections of what I've already written. One of the things that I dislike is that it doesn't give me page numbers. It's hard to see your book fill out if you don't have page numbers to gage it. Maybe that's why I keep looking for some sort of little bar to fill up.

Good news is that my current word count is over 30,000 Words. If I were actually doing NaNoWriMo, I would be golden, as I think I've written well over 5,000 words in the last two days. I may finish the book before the end of the summer yet.

ONLY TIME SHALL TELL!
