Word Count

Word count - 4.070
Goal - 3,334

This is hard, hard, hard. I'm ahead of my goal but it isn't going to last long. I see myself falling behind very shortly. I am thinking about creating a character with a stutter or maybe one with an unusual speech pattern where he repeats everything twice or maybe even three times. How would that be for compelling reading?

I see you have figured out the secret. People always say, "I don't have the time to write a novel." Yes they do. They just don't have the words. As Seinfeld would say, "and that's really the most important part."

Thanks to both of you for your encouragement. Again, thanks for your encouragement.

Now, I find myself repeating myself in everything . :-)
