Arghhhh. I’ll never finish this d**n book! At least it almost feels that way. This morning when I started I had about 30 pages to go. Now hours and hours later I’ve still got 16 pages to go. It keeps growing! I’ve gone from a 20,000 word count a week or two ago to over 31,000 – yikes that’s a lot of writing. I didn’t realize I’d done that much!
But it all needs to be done! The book is better for it. Pant pant pant. I feel like I’m chasing these last few pages.
Oh well, back at it.

You’ll catch up to it. Thank God you’re not just ending it because it’s wearing you out. Just finished reading a book by a BIG author and one of the plot lines was simply forgotten. She finished it eventually, but it was more like “Oh damn, I forgot about these people” and the ending of their story was so disappointing.
Hang in there, toots!
lol, and I actually think I finished it about 5 yesterday… going to fiddle with formatting today, maybe read it on screen one more time if I can stand it and off to the copy editor.
