Keffy is awesomer ... and more entertaining... than I.

73408 / 50000 words. 147% done!

I'm happy, but d00d, Keffy's awesomer.

In five and a half hours, we watched Keffy write 21,000 words. I'm sure a pleasantly delirious report will follow. At first I had a vague goal of writing a thousand words to hit 70,000. I tapped half-heartedly until I noticed (thanks to the blessed gods of Nano who allowed me to use the usually-locked university wireless!) my arch-enemy, Dormouse (who probably doesn't know he's my arch-enemy) had leapt ahead to 72,900. So I had to start typing like Keffy. I'd been going pretty slow, so 1500 words an hour seemed like a long shot. But I dove into dialogue, with a good dash of info-dumping that actually might be well-done. San told me to write a page of porfanity when I started pouting. I inserted a sudden outburst from the hero which refused to turn into profanity. I think he might say "shit" somewhere in this book, and that's profound character deveopment for him. But even if he didn't swear, he did get ridiculously preachy. Anyway, I hit my goal and salved my rare urge to compete.

As for Keffy, some may say that the bizzare deliriu she spewed forth last night was useless, but hey, so's getting drunk, and it's fr less fun and useful than last night's write-in.
