Tot-up Tuesday

[desperance]

God, can it really be Tuesday again already? I was just thinking "Gah! I hate this scene, this morning's work and yesterday's, I just want to tear it all up and start again. Again. And it'll play hell with the Tuesday word-count, again..." and then I realised, this was Tuesday so I might as well do the wordcounting now, before I start hacking and slaying the words. That'll keep the count clean, even if the desk gets mired in gore.

So, where are we? We are here:

18,408 / 150,000 (12.3%)

or, in my preferred page-count

59 / 450 (13.1%)

which is 5,489 new words since last week, which is of course pathetic. And yes, I have been ill; and yes, I have been proofreading all week; and yes, I have spent one afternoon running a workshop; and yes, I have been away for the weekend; and yes, it's still pathetic.

And, as I say, I want to tear much of it up and start again. Again. We are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are face-down in the filth.

Department of gratuitous information: the green dye which made this possible was invented by E. Nesbit's brother.

And she says he hadn't done at all well? When he had done something so wonderfully useful with his life, as to give Oscar a thing he could be epigrammatic about? Bah!
