yaaaaaay!! 20,036 words!! i broke 20k!
i realize my last excited word count update was less than 2 thousand ago. but 20k is a pretty big landmark. don’t you think? or would it be wordmark?
anyway, my stepfather is not mad at me. in fact, he’s been really really sweet. he told me to call bank of america, and see if we can’t make an appt. to come in and see them, together, next week. he’s cosigned on my loan. i told him about the garnishment back in sept, and how screwed up i was financially. and he admonished me for not telling him sooner… that that’s what family was for. [by the way, i wouldn’t use the word admonished, normally, but now that i am writing a novel, i feel i could be more descriptive.] he just called back a few minutes ago and said that he needed to use his truck tomorrow morning, but that i could use it after that. his truck is a big fat red ford lightening. it’s sweet. he’s got another car he drives now. a new something or another. volvo? something nice. saab? i don’t know. anyway, he kept the truck. for truck needs. and he said i could use it. i dont’ know for how long, but we’ll see what happens.
it’s not a baby blue buick, but it is ginormous.
