Behind, Behind - But I Can Celebrate

My 40,000 word count is about 16,000 words short and I am way too close to the end of the month to catch up properly. I'll just do my best to move forward. I am considering following my example in February and just tack on the remaining word cound to my 100 words a day I'm planning for May. Let me do the math: (16,000/31) + 100 = approximately 616 words a day. Hm, I think I might need to disapear for a while and knock that number down. I think if I cut it down to 10,000 words ( (10,000/31)+100=422), yeah, better number.

I have four days of hell at my paying job to worry about, though. Sometimes it just isn't possible to write around the crap that happens there.

About the celebration: I have completed what is now entitled Dominance, the fourth novel in my VampireSeries (the first being The Legacy). All I need to do is slap on a final edit. I am also two or three chapters away from completing Blood World. I have yet to discover a better title for that one, but I have patience to receive my epiphany.

After I meet my daily goal next month, (unless if I'm in a really good, short breathed, body trembling, mind-numbing, euphoric vein) I will stop working on my new project and finish the final edit for Duality as well as start on Rage. I am just a few pages away. Plus, my 'Final Edit' folder is getting very hefty and I'm about to slap two new novels into it.

I think I need the bar in my kitchen (the kind without alcohol in it since I'm on call for work) and a nice hot steaming cup of Gevalia's Mocha blend coffee.
