Yes, I am doing things besides asking for money for Polar Plunge. ;)

Days 15-16-17: If there’s anything NaNo had taught me, it’s that “progress” is a relative term.

First off, I got in better than an hour of solid writing on Nov. 17 and headed to bed at 9,961. I didn’t realize I was so close or I would have added a sentence.

That means I am all way through Day 6 and 20 percent of the way there. It also means I am 11 days behind, but that’s relative. We’ll see what happens today. As long as I do not lose ground (that is put in say 2,000 words tonight), I will be fine.

But there are more important things than word count. I have a couple paragraphs written for every chapter (10 chapters) at 5000 words each. More important, I have a story arc, and I am getting comfortable with some of the characters. Things have been coming a little more easily.

And the plunge will be over Saturday, so I can focus better.

Yes, there's only going to be one more.

So, back in August, I decided to set what I thought were totally unreasonable goals for our Polar Plunge.

I put my goal at $2,500 and the team at $5,000.

Absolutely unreachable, or so I thought.

Right now, the team is showing $4,870, including $250 today alone.

I am at $2,000.

But wait, there's more.

BMI, which employees my wife, [livejournal.com profile] knoggleknot and [livejournal.com profile] lbitw, is donating $1,000, which puts our team over the top at $5,870. Yay!!!!!

That donation is going to be split up among the four BMI-connected plungers -- me, [livejournal.com profile] knoggleknot, [livejournal.com profile] jenphalian and [livejournal.com profile] evilnicola .

That puts me at $2,250, which means I might actually get to my goal.

If you can help!

Here is the team link.  

You can pick an individual from there.

I love you guys!
