Ah, so there is one day left in this madness of November, and as much as I hate to admit it, I've stalled. I started out with the loftiest of goals during Thanksgiving Break, but it got too busy and, though I wanted to, I simply couldn't find the time to write my daily word count. And now that I'm back at school, work and papers and classes and commitments have also robbed me of the ability to keep up.

It's weird to think that last year, I was done at about the same time I couldn't handle it this time around. I wish I could have come away from this month a winner yet again, but not so. I've quit just short of 35,000 words. Jenny is permanently stuck at barely twenty-two in the middle of her ex-boyfriend's funeral.

I don't know if picking up where I left off this year next time would be cheating or not, but I'm toying with the idea of continuing this saga in 2008. I guess we'll have to see where I am; we know Jenny will be right where I left her.
