Still going!

I just broke the 20,000 word mark.

At some point I must have decided that pants were interfering with my creativity.

My characters are starting to feel more real then I am.

I really love the semi-colon; there's a lot of them in my novel.

I like the semi colon too; it allows me to take a pause without breaking the flow. 20,000 and more in three days. I gawk!

I like the semi colon too; it allows me to take a pause without breaking the flow.

I think that's a great explanation for why I've got so many of them in this novel: when doing something like, you write so fast that you don't want to ever stop for too long for fear of losing the flow, not just of the sentence, but of the whole story. So semi-colons maintain the speed better.
