This morning I was up early and went to Starbuck’s to finish this damn book. I was at about 47K when I got there, and I sat there until I hit 52K. I’m not done. I figured this was coming, since the last two years it seemed like I rushed the end. I couldn’t go to school tomorrow without hitting 50K. The kids wouldn’t let me live it down. I think I am about 5,000 words from finishing, and I am actually really eager to edit the book. The kids still write this week, and Friday is their writing finishing party; that’ll be fun. I am taking suggestions for a better title, though. I just don’t know what it may be. Now I am going to run along and write Christmas cards while the Steelers get whooped on by the Ravens.
