What can I say? There has been pleasure. There has been pain. There still is a fair bit of pain actually, which doesn’t bode well for the rest November. My fingers have the hard look of stale sausages and my eyes have the wild look of the seriously over-caffeinated. As for my brain, it is still living in some epic fantasy land far, far away.

Success!

My alter ego has done pretty well today, so props to them. I’ve seen quite a lot of other people storming ahead too, so I guess that is the biggest advantage to November starting on Saturday. It certainly is the best way to get off to a good start for a lot of people. There is no guilt about the late night, and if you’re lucky you can clear your whole schedule for the day like I did.

Sadly, my Sunday is very much going to be a busy one, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to make anything close to the level of progress that I have done today. I’ll be happy to hit the average word count for the day. In reality, I know that I have several evening engagements this week, so I actually need to do way more than that. I’m determined to continue to enjoy it though. After all there is very little point in doing it if you don’t enjoy it, right?

Now if I could only include this in my word count. That would be another crucial 200 right there…
