4,200: Gimme a minute!

The Pilot G2.  Each time I see the minis I buy them, afraid that they'll stop making them one day. That thought process is how you become a hoarder.  Of smaller then average pens, at least.

I'm workin' on the word count.  Keep your pants on!  It is going a bit slower then I would have liked, true, but a lot less stress is piling up for November then in years past which bodes well. 

I'm behind. I know. There is no need to remind me. I'd like to catch up before Friday, but I make no promises so keep your expectations in check, please. 

I remember reading once, a long time ago, that you could never name a character Simon because you would end up with the illusion-busting phrase, "Simon said" all over your manuscript or a bunch of tortured sentences.  Or a character who never speaks. I do wish I'd recalled that tidbit a few weeks ago.

Microsoft Word still has that "replace all" tool, right?
