I accidentally took today off because a football game ran long and was far too interesting.... so I pounded out some outlining for tomorrow. I'm only at 31k. On the plus side, my desktop is hooked up and ready to go, just need to get Windows re-installed for the new hardware and hopefully everything then works. There's still a chance that most of my work so far is erased, but I don't think that's likely -- fingers crossed, I'll find out tomorrow. edit: phew, dodged a bullet. DO NOT reinstall windows, it will delete everything. Buying a new hard drive and installing on that, then moving everything back over. Though, now I'm not sure if I'll have access to everything in time to verify my wordcount..... oh well. I'll manage.
