Woot!  I'm up, and I have written.  415 words, in fact, and I know what happens next.  I am closing in on the end of a story that I read at the conference.  I think I'm about 800 words away.

It is said that Hemingway wrote 400 words a day.  Holly Lisle writes 6000, and that could do a bit of damage to one's self-esteem, but Cory Doctorow has pointed out that writing 250 a day will produce a full-length novel in a year.    

Off to wake children and get the household moving.  The day is off to a good start.
