I have no idea if I met my word count goal. LOL. I'm sure I ran a little short, though. I started adding on to a new scene and then ended up salvaging some stuff from the original MS. My word count was 5K by time I finished, but it does need to be cut down quite a bit. I basically wrote until I couldn't stay awake another minute and then just ended up cutting and pasting the salvaged bits straight into the scene. I fiddled for about a half minute and then called it good for the night. Hopefully I can straighten the whole thing out this afternoon and then move on to something new.
I figured I got close enough to finish up SPECIALS. Okay, maybe I gave myself a little leeway, it being a holiday and all. (g) Finished it a little bit ago -- LOVED it. I'll get to a review in the next day or so. (On to THE SWEET FAR THING!! *yay*)
I decided NOT to go out tonight. So I'll be typing away when the ball drops (theoretically). I'll probably ring in the New Year with a glass of wine, but I really want to stay sharp and focused on my book right now. So no late night parties for this girl. She's on a mission. (g) It'll be good cuz I'll have the house to myself...and I can calm the dogs when everyone shoots off their guns. LOL.
Ohh! And I'm headed over to B&N shortly. Want to see if the fabulous Joanna Bourne's book is out yet. THE SPYMASTER'S LADY is getting some STELLAR reviews and I can barely wait to have it in my greedy little paws. After all, I don't want to be the last person on the forum to have read it. LOL. I (she says sheepishly) don't usually venture over into the romance section, but I'm hoping to snag a few people so I can talk up the book. It's not often I can say, "I know her!" Well, I CAN actually say that quite a bit lately. The community of writers I belong to kicks some MAJOR ASS. I swear, it seems like every other day someone is making a big announcement about finding an agent or selling a manuscript. Very exciting group to interact with, and I hope I can make such big announcements soon. :)
Okay...I'm off.

You'll not be the last person to read Jo's book.
I got an e-mail on Sunday that the books is shipped out and it will only arrive here TOMORROW! :)
(The book is already #5399 from 7,199,269 listed English books on amazon.de *whew*)
I hardly dare visit the forum lest I meet spoilers...
I'm fully prepared to spent tomorrow reading, although I *should* be getting my papers for my tax counselor together :)
Lindsay,
Glad I'm not the only one. Thanks. :) And I managed to get Jo's book, minus the "talking up." I fished that sucker up and looked around -- all men and young boys. Then I figured I could say something to the cashier ladies...they just blinked at me like they didn't understand English. Sigh. Wholly unsuccessful. LOL. But I don't care!! I have the book and it was wonderful! :)

Moonrat,
LOL -- yeah, my family and friends thought I was out of my mind. But seriously, stepping away and suffering the effects of a hang-over was the last thing I needed. (g)
Jen
Nina,
Ohhh...hope you got it. It's a fantastic book. People kept trying to interrupt my reading time (including my characters from FI) and I promptly SSSH'ed them all.
Hope you enjoy. :)
Jen
