desperanceHmm. The Great Book Race seems to have faltered, if not failed altogether. Anyone out there still in the running?
For myself - well. As you know, Bob, I just had three weeks away from it all. Which means I have ten days left, and am going to miss my deadline, almost certainly: for lo, here is where I am:
No, I don't believe I can write a third of a novel in even a long week. These are yesterday's numbers, and the 1500 words I wrote yesterday were better than the none that I wrote the day before, and even so. They're only half what I actually need, day to day. I can't remember the last time I wrote 3K in a day, let alone ten consecutive days.
So, yeah. Slogging on, no longer expectant. Damn that Paris...
