"40,000 he said nonchalantly."

My NaNoWriMo 'Progress for Camy' says:
Current word count: 40042 (80.08 %) with 3 days left, with current pace, expected to finish in 8 days.

Ha! If they think I'm going to finish in 8 days they have another think coming. I'm doing this, and that's all there is to it. I am going to finish this novel in a month malarkey even if the heavens start raining frogs, or gold bullion. I will not be hoist by my own petard, I just won't. Besides which I don't own a suit of armour anyway.

So there!
