word count: 52.7K

[thanate]

So I've reached the coveted 50K mark, and then I redid my tracker to give an estimated final word count based on chapter length, and then I had to go and add a miscellaneous "Where are they now" chapter to the children's plot-line before I could set up where the younger brothers are going off to. So I'm an estimated three quarters of the way done, possibly finishing around the 26th, but only if I keep my wordcounts up. And I'm bored; I've been doing this writing thing for a long time, I've passed 50K, and I want to be done now. But the NaNo site won't even let me verify my final wordcount yet, and Scheherazade is stuck in the middle of a war she inadvertently caused between the Aztecs and the Chinese.
