Just over 3000 words to go. It’s the home stretch!

Well, I’ve just hit 46K this morning.  It’s stupid early but I couldn’t sleep, might as well use the time.

We’re almost home for the July session.

Today, we’re taking the munchkin to a nearby beach with some friends and family.  After that, my lovely wife will be going out with friends while I am left to finish the first stage of this crazy thing.  3000 words by midnight tonight.   Camp NaNoWriMo’s deadline is tomorrow, but I prefer following the 50 in 30 rule and take tomorrow OFF.  I’m starting to have get a cold and I think it’ll be nice to be lazy one well earned day.

Next week I am on vacation, which will be awesome for both word count and other writing related activities.  I can’t wait!
