Oh, no wait. There was the ending of "The New Dark Ages," too. That was pretty dark, too. Let's say third most gruesome scene I've written.Stephen Kozeniewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185600045044927669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020653850161663700.post-1292728447375041152015-11-21T03:30:24.511-05:002015-11-21T03:30:24.511-05:00I get really stressed out if I keep meticulous tra...I get really stressed out if I keep meticulous track of my daily word count, so the one time I tried Nano it was sort of awful.

I like it in November since there's basically three holidays (Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, and Black Friday) and when you work in an office setting rather than retail things are usually slowing down at the end of the year.
