Yet Another NaNo Update

[Let me know if you're getting bored of these; I can always make them private. But there's only a week left now, anyway :) ]

So, after yesterday's disastrously crap evening, today went fine. I got more than the staple 1,666 words, which at least means I'm less behind than I was yesterday. And I've broken through the 35,000 word barrier, so there's fewer than 15,000 words to go, which seems quite doable once you've done it a couple of times in the month already.

Favourite line of the evening:

"It’s a disturbing fact of modern life that in a city, you’re never more than ten feet away from a Tesco Metro."

I'm enjoying the updates - and cheering you on every step of the way!

Heh. Good to know. It's really quite a rollercoaster; I'm starting to believe that the horrible blocked days are actually necessary for the nice flowing days to come along. On the other hand, there's the danger that if I start thinking like that, it'll be difficult to tell the difference between a naturally difficult day and a day when I'm just being spectacularly lazy, like normal...

Have to admit I've just been sneaking a peek at the very civilised preview they give you on Nanowrimo and now I'm even more impatient for you to finish :-)

Pipe down at the back there!

I'm not even sure I'm going to let anyone read it, you know. Who knows, maybe I'll burn it on December 1st :) Might be quite a liberating experience.

Um... not unless you want me to BEAT your arse.
