Obsessive Word Count Zip Codes

Speaking of obsessive word count updates...

I don't know if anyone has done this before, but for the past few days I've added locations to my word count progress. I started it Tuesday in Nashville, TN (37214), and made it to Jackson, TN (38314) by Tuesday night.

Before dinner yesterday I made it within three words of Sasser, GA (39885), then after a walk on the beach I slept in Closplint, KY (40927). It looks to be in the middle of nowhere on the map:
Business addresses: 3
PO Box addresses: 86
Residential addresses: 225
- but I felt I was, in fact, really getting somewhere.

Just because my last name is the same as the name of the town, I think it would be cool to be in Hamilton, OH (45015) by tonight, where I would give appropriate thanks for getting that far. Since it is a holiday, though - and after Thanksgiving turkey and a nap - I may only make it as far as my hometown of Wadsworth, OH (44281). I don't really know too many people there anymore, so if I can...just...keep...typing...I can get as far as Loudonville (44842) or Perrysville (44864), where I can rest and visit with my brother or my sister.

Next year, I may pull out a US map and put pins in it, to map where I am each day on my way towards my destination: Somewhere, Iowa or mayber even South Dakota, North Dakota or Montana (50000 to 59999)!

I'm a dangerous combination of pantser and worksheet geek so I better get back to writing now, if I want to get anywhere fast (but if you want to do a little traveling yourself...www.eachtown.com/ZIP/).

This is a fun idea but... I'm stranded. In the middle of Nowhere. 39889 is No Where

I'm currently in Brooksville, Fl (34607). Would like to hit my hometown of Athens, OH (45071) at least before the end. Given up on actually hitting 50,000. My plot bunnies have gone rabid. I have brain freeze as far as advancing my story line. I'm getting more writing done bitching about my lack of writing than I am actually writing!

I'm not going to share my zip code just for safety purposes, but I don't think I'll be getting to my zip code during November (maybe later, but not this month, since it starts with a 9). Right now I'm in Follansbee, West Virginia.

LOL. Nobody said you have to! I don't even HAVE a zipcode.

I know, I just felt like sharing. :) I'm in Jonesville, North Carolina now (28642).

I'm in Port Orange, FL (32128). My goal for tonight (35000) would apparently put me in Rennes, France.

My goal for tonight puts me in France, too.

I've been stuck in Burlington, KY (41005) alllllllll daaaaayyy. Turkey is wieghing me down, so tomorrow I need to hoof it.

Apparently, if there's no zip code in the US for the number, you go to France. A side trip to France doesn't sound bad right now.

I'm currently in Merrill, IA. Kind of like the name...

I was going to try mapping some of the places my word count as been (well, the ones I could. I can't get my actually word count for day 1 to show) as well, and found out I ended up in Woodstock Valley at the end of Day 2!

Still in NC... *sigh* Made it to Nakina (28455)

Made it to Ermine, KY, at least. (41815).

Total Housing Unit: 272
Urban: 0, Rural: 272
Occupied: 240 (Owner: 202, Renter: 38), Vacant: 32

I guess I can stay in one of the 32 empty houses to save money. Kind of spooky, though, and there are a lot of weasels around.

My WC isn't a real zip code and I have no idea how to find a place that's close by, lol.

Looking on the bright side, I passed my zip code here in NY in week 1!

I'm either in France again, or I fell down some Kentucky mountain into the Ohio river. There are no zip codes here at 42818.
