And so I dance.
NaNoWriMo Day 19.
Word Count: 31,801
OH HELL YES. I HAVE CAUGHT UP & SURPASSED THE MINIMUM DAILY WORD COUNT NEEDED TO MAKE THE 50K.
I had a celebratory beer and am now unbelievably anxious to get to bed. Monday – Wednesday night, the little Princess was with her great grandparents, so I spent my nights with The Man. Always enjoyable, except I cannot sleep with other people in the room if they are not already so on an incredibly regular basis.
Yes, this meant I got zero sleep with my ex, Mr. I’m in the Navy and Therefore Must Be Gone Every Five Minutes. It’s freaking ridiculous. As a child, I was always the last to go to sleep and the first to wake up at sleepovers… by several hours. Hours. But tonight, the kiddo is back and I have the bed all to myself and it looks scrumptiously inviting. So while I miss you, Adam – I’m going to enjoy to sleep.
AND THE FACT THAT I KNOCKED OUT THE 7000 WORDS I WAS BEHIND IN YESTERDAY AND THEN SOME.
Chalk this up as a win for Melissa. Now I desperately need sleep, because tomorrow I have to figure out how in the world to explain a dead body being found in Hell. Oi.

You ROCK, and I am SO inspired. I need to knock out a chunk of words today, myself…our weekend out of town really messed with my discipline. 7000 words, wow. I’d be celebrating, too. In fact: I will celebrate, in your honor. With a homemade latte, which I will make right now. (I was kind of already going to make this latte, but now I can dedicate it to your success. Yay!)
Well thanks
A homemade latte? Really? Pity you can’t send me one… because man oh man do I need it!
Would have been a 1 star for blaming me for thr lost sleep, only saving grace was you rockin out your writin to beat your quota!
Atta girl! Hang in there
