That is, of course, French for "yippee." I reached today's goal. I did 1971 words. 48029 to go! And I'm ahead of schedule!
For the record...my goal took about three single-spaced pages in 11-point Times New Roman. it also took me about 3 to 3.5 hours, including some time staaaaaaaaring at the computer screen.
Thanks to batchix and the Loremistress for early encouragement. I will keep you in mind as a reader, LM, once this atrocious draft gets banged into more acceptable shape.
Note to self: NOTHING HAPPENS in 1971 words. It's been about 10 minutes and Sarah is still leaving work. Of course she's saying bye to coworkers, but still...she digresses a lot. Darn loquacious erudite narrator...
