Made Quota Again

Apparently, I can do this. During drafting phases (as opposed to revision phases), I used to average about 1000 words/day. It's a push, to aim for twice that and then settle for hitting roughly 1700, but I think I can keep this up without too much agony.

If I had a full-time job or a kid, though, this pace would probably kill me. wayzgoose's solution is to get his wife and kid to sign on for Nanowrimo, too, but I can't imagine how other fully employed parents manage it.

Today's new words: 1725

6,632 / 50,000 (13.3%)

I'm not sure we can sip Bacardi like it's my birthday. If we were to party like it's my birthday, that would entail throwing a potluck and declaiming the worst poetry we could find. We've done that with mead, merlot, even grappa, but not Bacardi.
