Keeping Up?

I'm barely keeping up if I look at that little line that supposed to show the pace I should be meeting and the little bars that show my writing.

Still what's really important are the words not the numbers. The words are . . . I'm happy to say . . . are not too bad. They're coming together to form plots I hadn't thought of, characters that are somewhat intriguing  and a story that was somewhat planned but still spontaneous. I have to go to California again next week, I'm hoping that that helps me break this novels back and get past 25K.
