How Many Words are Measured in a Year

jasonandrewThis has been an interesting year. It has been filled with challenges and good steps forward.
I met new and wonderful friends and have been completely surprised by some of them. I lost friends that I had outgrown. I fell in love with my wife once more.
This was the year I felt that my writing jumped to that magical level. I finished the book that was my personal Vietnam and was the inspiration for the title of this blog. A lot of my friends have wildly supported my art and I appreciate them.
This year, I wrote an estimated three hundred thousand words of fiction. It takes time and effort to master any field, but I imagine that writing is amongst the most difficult. (Note: I don't claim to have mastered anything this year, except for Fallout 3.)
I feel so good about the future and that's tough when you are almost forty and still trying to leave the dream.
Thank you to everyone that has helped me grow as a person and a writer.
