(metrics) Day 28, more NaNo counts

I finished Chapter 25 of Last Rites today, and made myself cry. The entire end of this book is making me very emotional. *sniff* Gotta get through it, though.

Between homework and work tomorrow, i didn’t have time to work on the sekrit project, but I did work on Rites, and I put Word on my big computer. Going to write more tomorrow morning, hopefully on the sekrit project, since I’ve got only a few more days to get it moving!!! Eep!

For the first time in over twenty years, I’m not looking through a veil of Chaos and Blood. In two days, I’m going to die, and I’m finding that I want to know what kind of legacy I’m leaving behind. Besides fear and loathing,” he added. “I know about that. But there’s a good chance that our children may survive us. I did help give life to them. I’d like to know about them.”
