50601 / 50000 words

Yes at last the novel is done, it's actually not so bad as all that, I exceded the 50,000 word goal at 4:04 this morning and my head is still ringing as if someone left me in a big church bell and began to ring it. I am in pain Thank God I don't need to do anything but a small thing for Billing and Codeing. I do have a final in the class for medical interpreters. I think I might actually enjoy teaching it! This is the best thing of all, to think of actually being damn near done, I was wrong the externship is in Spring! That's ok, I have some B&C and for purposes of maintaining proficiency, I'm takeing a Spanish conversatinoal class. The instructor is Peruvian! That is cool, I have a great love for Peruvian music, it is so wonderful. Incidentally I have heard bands from the Balkans playing stuff that has a Peruvian sound to it. Irish musicians have been stealing riffs from the Peruvians for a couple of decades now, because the old Irish music, I mean the REALLY old stuff is on a similar scale and an eagle bone flute, the most special instrument of all Native Americans has the holes about like on a tin whistle. So that isn't so surpriseing. I very much want a bone flute or a jade flute one day. I play whistle sometimes still. Bone or jade would be nice because the sound is so much nicer than tin! eerm back on track here! I am glad that I have some leeway on the other stuff simply because of the final in the one class. You are going to see a tiny bit less of me for a couple weeks. Then perhaps too much of me.
Anyway I am glad this is all over. I can now fully concentrate on school and my sucky few pages of a sucky novel is a full first draft, and can be edited, livened up and etc. I think it might make a good screen play actually...

Hi Radmila thanks! Finally feeling human, I actually think it's a halfway decent book, it's been a lot of work now I need to find an agent and get published. I think it's got good movie potential too.

Who could resist a Medieval epic with castles and stuff?
 
Congratulations to my fellow blogger, nanowrimer winner, and Yakima Gulag czar.
