"Just Kiss Already!" -- day 17

I just realized. My main characters, who are madly in love with each other, have not kissed.... or hugged.... or even held hands..... Nor will they ever. [O__________o] That's upsetting
Probably because I'm giving the girl away to a guy old enough to be her father, in the next 5 pages or so.
I'm upset enough about that to yell at myself for putting the poor girl through this. Or I'll go yell at her parents... At one point, I was typing and found myself yelling "Just kiss already!" at the computer screen. They didn't.
That's another quirk about writers: we talk to everything that can be talked to: real people, our characters (aka fake people?), inanimate objects, voices in our heads that pop out of nowhere, the paper, the darn pens that just have to run out of ink in the middle of a climax.... you get the picture.

Word Count update? Somehow, I managed to get myself behind. Again. Not my fault though: last night, I had to...
-study for Anatomy test (and memorize every last bone & joint in the human body; not even kidding)
-memorize To Be or Not To Be (via sporcle! and incessant muttering to myself)
-finish IPLE speech (I do believe our group set a record on how quickly we got it done)
-uh..... I ignored Stat studying.

  So basically this is where I'm at. 27,720 words, with 614 more to go if I want to be "all caught up." Fun stuff.

It's 9:14 and I still have English homework. How did this happen? Why does it feel like it's seven o'clock? Where has my brain disappeared to?
