18,750

That’s as far as I’ve gotten in my NaNoWrimo project so far, occasionally stopping to rest my keyboarding fingers and be stupefied that the PlayStation Network actually has Trine and Braid (both were released earlier on PC, and both games are pretty freakin’ awesome). The word count that I’ve got right now is 75% of what I’d be expected to have right now if I were going to make the 50,000-word quota at the end of the month. Realistically, I don’t think I’m going to make it that far, but I’m not going to quit this time because I (think that I) have some good ideas going. I’m thinking 37,500 words would be a respectable stopping point for me. I don’t expect my book to exceed that many words, even with padding and other unscrupulous word-count-boosting techniques.
