didn't write today

21 Dec. 2012.  It's almost 6 pm and I haven't written.  Oh well, there's always tomorrow.  Had a morning meeting at school and some afternoon stuff to do.  And Xmas preps continue.  Guests arrive on Sunday.

20 Dec. 2012 word count

word count:  4814

Today I added 508 words: ended the scene with Booth's wife, and added a scene with his daughter.  500 words wasn't too bad at all to write, and took about half an hour.  But, somehow, the word count differed a little on the two computers!  One was 4814, and one was 4799.  15 words different?  how does that happen?

today's word count

current word count:  4306

I didn't write today!  Anway, the official count doesn't start until January.  Still, I wanna try and write everyday.  Now we're busy with Xmas preparations.
