I had an interesting day of writing.  I got in about 680 words before Dan and I went to play golf at Aliso Viejo...a soon to be Country Club in the area.  We had a long, slow, hard day of play (I shot 116 and was happy to get out with that) but enjoyed ourselves tremendously--in particular because of our golfing partner, Bill.

Bill is originally from Scotland and has the most charming burr to his voice.  I could listen to him say "Well doon" all day long.  My drives were clicking but no other part of my game was particularly good.  Still I managed at least one good shot per hole, so that's about my par.

Came back and after a bit of procrastination I put my bum in the chair and cranked out another 1500 words for a grand total of 48,131 words so far.  If I don't miss my guess, I'll actually finish Nanowrimo (in terms of hitting the 50,000 words in one month) tomorrow.

Then I will begin the process of figuring out the implications of the experiment for my daily routine.  I think there's another 300 or so pages to this mini-War and Peace, so that's another two months of Nano-intensive writing.  Interesting implications to ponder.

Off to relax for a bit with the man!
