Alright! I'm right on track to actually having 50,000 words by the end of the month. I just finished bringing the count up to 14,215 words. It's getting a little easier to just write without feeling the need to constantly correct myself. I have to keep reminding myself that I can always edit later. For now, the important thing is to just write thoughts out. Also, today was the first day that I decided to randomly write a scene that isn't necessarily in order with the rest of the writing. Until today, I've been continuing my story where I left off. Today, I decided to write something that may be a little later in the story. I think it helps to do that so I don't lose an idea while I have it. I'm not sure if there's much of anything quotable in today's writings, but let me check...

Ok, I just looked at my text and picked out a random paragraph. It seems it could use some rearranging, but here it is in the raw:

Among the first signs that Jon noticed about himself was his appetite changing. After a week, he started craving some odd things like raw potatoes and raw carrots. Once he ate a raw potato, he felt so good and loved the taste of earth. It made him really desire eating soil. He thought he must be going crazy, but he went with the logic that the dirt must have more things in it that his new nanobot cells needed. He pushed it off for a few days, but finally went for it when the craving was getting to be a bit too much. He never thought dirt would be so refreshing. It tasted so good to him that he just had to have more. He wanted clean dirt, so he took a little trip to the corner store and bought a small five pound bag of potting soil. He rushed into his apartment and ripped open the bag. Handful by handful, he stuffed his mouth full of dirt. He got such a huge rush from it. It was as if it was energizing his body. Then he figured it out. The bots were formed out of algae cells, which are plant-like. They must need more nutrients from the soil than normal human cells. Besides, his bones were reforming into an iron-like material, so he probably needed even more earth just to get those cells well fed.

Facebook tends to import it odd.
