I’m over 50% done with my first novel. Holy crap, Batman!
In most areas of my life, 50% is failing. A big, fat F. So, happiness with this kind of score is a first for me. Let me say it again, I’m over half-finished!!! Woo-hoo!
I have quite a few more scenes to add, tweak, or generally fix, which is a good thing. I want 90,000 words. Having nothing more to say now would kinda be a bad thing, ya know?
Also, I went to the late showing of Jarhead last night. Actually, it was the only showing in the one theater in my dinky little town. But, really, who’s counting? Good movie, though. Mad Madam M said it was the best war movie she’d seen without an actual war and I have to agree. I think I’ll have to read the book now. The lead guy, played by Jake Gyllenhaal (total hottie), is supposed to be from Sacramento, California. My home town. So, now I just have to read it.
