Another month, another word count. Again, I’m only counting words I’ve used in fictional works and not blogs. Not that I’ve blogged lately or anything.

On with it… August was pretty good, with a total of 24,019 words. This is thanks, mostly, to a new short(er) story that I wrote for Awesome August that was nearly 7000 words. otherwise my total would be far below 20,000.  I was pretty proud of that story, too.

This brings my total to 252,453 words for the year. Not bad at all. My goal of 300,000 is only about 47K words away.

I’ve been trying to think of a NaNo topic for this year… I can’t believe it’s coming up so fast. I mean, yeah it’s November, but I usually need time to plan and outline. I’m thinking that, instead of doing NaNo, I will push myself to finish both of my big pieces. And start something new in Jan 2011. Wow.

We’ll see. The minute I say I am going to do something I suddenly can’t do it.
