I'm so close I can taste it. I may not even have to keep working 'til midnight. I'm beginning to think I may not run out of scenes to add before 50,000, after all. (One can add words by adding a little description here and there, but for thousands of words, it helps to have big blocks of text to add -- whole scenes.) I'm not sure why I think that, given how much I've already filled in and how close I am right now to my "The End" scene I've already written... I guess the thousands of words I've already added last night and this morning are making me hopeful, contrary to all reason. No. Not all reason. Even if I do get stuck, I think with all the time left before me, I really will win. Squeeeee!!!
