A man, a plan. No canal. Panama!
Okay, so this is Project Panama, for want of a better name.
Today, I am having Off. Because it's already half-gone, and I can.
Tomorrow, I rise betimes and do All The Cooking. Bread (for lunches), pork scratchings (for nibblings), chilli (a vasty pot, for suppers).
Then I hie me to the library with my lunch, and I work until I can't stand it any more, and then I come home and work some more.
Three thousand words a day, minimum, until this book is done. It ought to take a week.
(For clarity's sake, let it be said that I can't remember the last time I wrote three thousand words in a day, let alone several times consecutively. Nevertheless. If I work ten hours a day, that's only three hundred words an hour. Actually, I can write faster than that.)
It might be nice if I found an actual plot somewhere along the way, but hey. An end, that's all I'm asking for. I don't think that's too much?
