Seven pages a day

[desperance]

Pages: seven. (And lordy, there's a surprise; these mid-afternoon pub visits are a killer, ordinarily. But I was right at the end of the week, right at the end of a section: I got there, just about.)

Words: 1920

Zukotou:

129,413 / 125,000 (103.5%)

And the girl-no-longer-disguised-as-a-woman has met the Crippled Man Whose Significance We Do Not Know and the pirate-no-longer-disguised-as-a-pirate. Finally. And the lamplight flickers in the torture cell, and now can we move on? Please?

In other news: well, that worked. Fifty pages in seven days, exactly. And no, I have not finished the book, not nohow. Nobody who knows me will be surprised.

The big question is, do I carry on regardless? Do I aim for the same again, another seven-page-a-day extravaganza? It worked this week, but I had no other engagements at the week's start; I'm starting this with several. Which I might manage to work around, but... Well, I dunno. Having an absolute target helps, but only so long as I can keep to it. As soon as I have a failure day, who can say? And do I want to risk it...?

Wow, you really are wise! I hadn't thought of any of this, especially with the rise of wordcount meter thingies... It's all about the words, baby! But, no... I could do pages instead, especially as I love to fool myself into thinking I've done more than I have. I think this is very smart, although I guess I could do wordcount as well - like you've been doing with your 7-day push.

Also, "Of Cabbages and Kings" should definitely be used somewhere, if you haven't already. :)
