Book Progress

I'm about 17 pages and 5100 words into my book. As you may have guessed, I'm slacking with my time commitments, but I'm still doing much better than I thought I would be doing. I hope to eclipse the 20 page mark by the end of tonight. If I can do that, I should be over 6000 words. I don't know how long the typical book is, but 6000 words seems pretty long, although not when I think of it in the context of 20 pages. A 20 page book really isn't worth too much. We'll see how this goes though. Hopefully I can get to 100 pages. I feel like I have a lot to write about, but 100 pages is pretty sick.

Today I got to stay home from work. We had a snow day. There was about 2-3 inches, although if this was New York, they wouldn't have sniffed twice before heading on to work and school. Tomorrow, Jill already knows that she has a 2 hour delay. I hope that when I wake up in the morning they'll say that we have a 2 hour delay as well, but I seriously doubt that they'll do that. The only way that they will is if there are icy conditions.

President Obama got sworn in today. It was a huge event. I don't remember how many people attended Bush's ceremonies, but this seemed like there were about a million people in the mall, and countless others on television. We'll see how his presidency goes! Hopefully he can fix the economy!

Alrighty then...I'm off to write!
