Word count so far

So . . . I have all these little scenes. I don't know if they will be in the book or not. But I decided, just for the hell of it, to count all the words written in these little scenes tonight. They totaled up to 8100. So, if I wrote, say a 100,000 word book, that would be a little over 8%. So . . . I am getting somewhere. Maybe. Heh.

And heck, since we're counting, I have walked 10232 steps so far today. I measured my stride at about 2.7 feet, which means I've walked five miles today, just going about my daily business. I'm not even working out this week, because I'm in the middle of my quarterly rest week. (Once a quarter do not exercise for a week to give the body some down time). I have to decide whether I want my "walk to Rivendell" miles to include all these steps just around the office and house, which are not necessarily done at an aerobic pace. Or perhaps I should count only "workout walks," when I put on exercise clothes and trot around the lake, keeping my pulse up in my target heart rate range.

Maybe I'll keep a running total of both numbers.
