So, I got there a week ago today and haven't written anything since then. I've reached the word count but not finished the story, so I still have some writing to do this week. I've already written one chapter as an outline, and may have to do that for a few more so at least the story lines are tied together. It's always interesting to read novels that are written as outlines instead of stories, right?
But I still don't like this year's novel as well as last year's. Have you ever heard someone ask a published author which of their books is their favorite? and they usually answer by saying that it's like asking a parent which kid is their favorite? I totally don't believe that. It's complete crap.
Maybe I'll actually finish the novel tomorrow... I still don't think I'll like it any better than last year's, but you never know!

Maybe if all your novels are good it's hard to pick and choose between them. 2004 had potential albeit not very good potential; 2006 had no potential whatsoever; 2007 had even less than 2006. 2005 on the other hand is by far my favorite and unless I come up with an absolutely brilliant story idea in the coming years will more than likely remain so. :)
So, you think the comparison to choosing your favorite child is complete BS, too, eh?
total and utter BS, yes!
