Milemarker and another goal

I have just passed 150,000 words in my novel. And is it done yet?

As I discussed earlier, I did not make last week's goal as set for me by my friend Michael. However, I've been given a new deadline, one which is significantly more feasible. Yesterday afternoon, Michael gave me five days to finish my novel. When exactly those five days start or end is questionable, but I've taken the goal to heart. Last night I stayed up far too late writing, and here I am at work writing again. Fortunately for me (but not maybe for my sense of focus) it's a slow day at work, which hopefully means lots of writing time--even a few minutes to spare for my neglected blog. So, basically--wish me luck!

P.S. On Saturday I saw 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' for the second time, and I just cannot express how much I enjoy it. It made my best friend weep for about twenty minutes. I didn't cry the second time, but it was still equally beautiful. I highly recommend it if you're in the mood for a drama or 'artistic' film. It's lovely.

3 Additional Hiccups:

Hey, silly! Is this novel you're working on a re-working of the one that you let me read (your science fiction novel for your class), or is it a new adventure for you? Hope you're well. Feel free to check out my blog if you'd like (I'm not nearly as prolific as you are!).

This is another adventure--although, as soon as I'm done writing I'm going to be returning to revisions for the SF, in hopes of submitting to publishers and agents this year. !! The adventures are, as always, endless. :)
