Snowman to Bandit, You Got Your Ears On?

Gotta long way to go and short time to get there based on the graph below. I'd like to say that I've been eschewing updating this blog to work on my novel, sadly the evidence doesn't support that.

Will I make it? I think so. I have a week left and 20K words to go. I'm going to power through these next few days and make a big dent in this sucker. The problem? I'm not sure how the mystery ends yet. That's never a good thing. The good news? The characters seem intriguing  I'd rather have compelling characters and a weak idea of the plot than the alternative.
