The bad news: in the six days since I've arrived, I've only left the cabin once. I know. It's shocking. Especially since I didn't actually count the days until a few sentences ago. :-/
In my defense, it's been ridiculously cold! The mountain temperature hasn't gotten up to zero in days. Yesterday, I brushed the snow off my car yesterday and drove down to the grocery store. The temperature read negative eight at the cabin. I lost feeling in my fingertips, even though I wore gloves and had the heat blasting. To make sure I kept all of them, I bought some handwarmers at the grocery store before driving up.
The good news: I've written 13.2K!! That another third - over another third. I think that's worth locking myself inside for a week.
I'm a couple chapters away from the climax. I'm crossing my fingers on being able to finish the first draft by the end of the month. That'll give me a few months to get some good revising done before my March deadline. Hurrah!
