This whole 50k in one month thing is freaking hard! I am so overwhelmed and feel like I'm spread a thousand different directions. Work, the baby, laundry, chores, grocery shopping, errands, packing lunches, showers... I honestly don't know where the time to write comes in. And of course it doesn't help that I am largely hand-writing, and then typing when I get a chance to use the computer (which, if I'm lucky enough to stay awake past 9m, happens once Isabella has finally gone to bed for the night). Not to mention that Miss Bella is in her clingy stage, and her bad sleeping stage, and I'm in my caffeine isn'thelping stage... we're a bit of a hot mess, but I'm somehow plugging along. I wanted to get a comfortable buffer between my word count and the daily minimum quota, seeing as I might be going to NYC this weekend and then with Thanksgiving, my sister and Suzanne coming home, and my five year reunion... damn November, you're such a busy month.

But, finally, I've hit the halfway point. With wordage, that is. With the story... well, it has a long way to go.
