100,000 words
I was just talking to a friend about my novel writing, and mentioned that the target was 100,000 words.
"I don't even know that many," he said.
"Yeah, I may end up having to repeat some of them."
"He turned around," my friend offered. "He turned around again."
"He kept turning. He was, if you will, spinning. If you won't, he was turning around over and over."
"See? 100,000 should be no problem."
Thanks, friend. You've been a big help.

i am a bad blog commenter. i am here often, but don't comment enough... anyway, um, that's what this is. i have linked you. you mentioned it a while ago... you can link me back if you please. and, don't feel so bad. i have... 4,000 words for my, now dusty and moldy, novel.
Erin: consider yourself linked.
I've found that using a computer helps to prevent mold. Maybe you could try that.
I liked your friends idea. Its easy to push up the word count that way!
Good luck in the race.
Cheers,
Liz
Liz: Thanks for the encouragement. Once I get my intro section done, I imagine it'll be reasonably smooth sailing.
HWDNS: No, the friend in question is actually quite an idiot. Sorry if I misled you.
Maybe I'll write a novel about a bunch of folks who are obsessed with their current word counts.
Oh, I doubt he can read or work a Web browser. He's more or less just a shaved monkey.
Well, I'm not alone...
