Speeding up the endgame here. I doubt I'll write this weekend, which would be days 20 and 21 of my end of summer writing sprint. So instead, I''ll make today and tomorrow my last two days of keeping track of my word count. I guess I'm just not that great at long term sprinting!
Yesterday, though, was another solid day. I kept expanding my short story from Tuesday and ended up adding another 4300 words. Probably can't do anything with it, it's just too crazy a piece. But it filled a need for me to just blitz and not worry about story structure and such. Sometimes vomiting on the page is the best way to get an idea to express itself. I'll worry about cleaning it up later. If I ever get back to it.
So, if I decide to not post tomorrow, thanks for hanging with me, as herky jerky as it's been, over the past three weeks. I'll keep posting occasional updates when school starts, just don't expect anything resembling regularity. If you're interested in my final word counts, read below the fold. Thanks again for reading!

Keep it clean and positive. (And sorry about the word verification, but the spmb*ts are out in full force!)
