Beginning the month with just over 50,000 words, my goal for Camp NaNoWriMo was 80k. I am not going to make this goal. I will not deceive myself into thinking I will write over 2,000 words a day for the 8 days left in Camp.

Even though I'm not going to make it, I have been writing consistently. Okay, not really consistently in the sense that I'm getting exactly 1,263 words every day (this was a totally random number to be used in this example, don't read into that), but consistently meaning that I'm writing something every day.

On average (which is an extremely loose term, by the way) I've been writing at least 500. This is taking into account my actual getting-paid-for-it-now-workload, my weekends, the randomly awesome days that 2,500 words pour out, and the randomly awful days when those 2,500 really suck and get deleted.

If I keep this pace up, theoretically I COULD have a manuscript ready for editing by the end of May.

Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!
