by the word, by the day

I am now fully into writing the book that has as a working title The Bishop of Who.  I never before counted the words in a book as I wrote (even during NaNoWriMo) and I find it fascinating to observe that the more I count the faster I write.  I fully expect that in a week or so, unless I run completely dry, I will be setting finger to keyboard at the rate of 4000 words a day.  What causes me to rush so headlong into arranging pixels on page I know not.  I just know that I have to.
