If I was counting academic writing...

wordwhacker... I would have almost been keeping up with my minimum word count. And if blog posts counted, I'd probably be right on track.
I'm not counting those, though. Essays and blog entries are a totally different animal than stories. Though I did have to write a story for one of my classes, and I am counting that toward my word count.
Amid all of my crazy travels and theatrical hilarity, I managed to write 4559 words over the past 20-something days. Not terrible. Also not particularly good. But I am getting there - I am also worldbuilding for the first time in a long, long, long time, and it feels really good. I have been picking away at it, jotting down interesting details as they come to me, so even though I haven't been applying myself to actually WRITE I have been more mentally active in that realm, and that's always a good thing.
355755 / 1000000 words. 36% done!
Hey, whaddaya know! It made the counter jump up by one percent! Gotta love when the little things like that make you feel more productive than you probably deserve.
In a couple of days I take off on my crazy Australian / New Zealand adventure. Without the internet, maybe I'll actually get some writing done!
