Accomplished. Not sure how. Very, very sleepy entire time writing. Think Glorfindel ended up on Erestor's lap. Wait, no, I know he did. Will need to undig myself from hole, but at least I'm into five digit numbers.

It's only day four, you say? Damn, how the hell did Jake manage to finish in five days (last year)??

Already I'm losing track of the excerpts...so here's an example of word pad...


Erestor stood at the bottom of the steps leading up to the house, picking lint from his robes and smoothing out the fabric. He took a deep breath when a solo rider galloped down the final hill to the valley where the house was. The warrior’s white fur lined cloak billowed out behind him like a wandering snowdrift, and Asfaloth snorted and stamped once they reached the doors of the stable. Glorfindel dismounted and a gentle pat and a few words sent his stallion into the stable towards his stall and a well-deserved rest. The golden warrior walked across the courtyard, crunching leaves from the past autumn beneath his feet as he traveled. His eyes were on Erestor the entire time, and while a pleasant smile graced his lips, he was cautious nonetheless.

I so could have written that in four words... but why bother? It's nanorific!
