Well, my goal for today is to finish the story. I still have a ball scene and a conversation with God Bob (don't ask) and am at 47,504 words right. It's 1 o'clock in the afternoon so I figure I stand a good chance. Especially considering that last week I wrote about 5k on a Friday afternoon.
Excerpt:
"The thing you suggested back in that other world. The... uhm... marriage thing. I know that you were just joking and feel free to say no, but I would... well, that is I'd like to... You're a good friend in the short time we've known each other. You're not involved in any of the politics in this world. You know me. So I was wondering if..." Oh boy. Jahnee was going to be pissed. "You want to ask me if I'd consider marrying you," she said. Never had she heard such an awkward sentence and it came from her own mouth. Monty could only nod. His face was bright red. "You realize that Jahnee is going to kill you for stealing his adoptive sister away, right? And I'm not going to just sit around and look pretty. Or try to look pretty at least. I don't want to be shut into the palace."
ETA: 50,103 words. Which is just the barebones plot done. Now I get to print it out and start seeing where I want to add scenes, add them and add them to my wordcount. Woohoo!
