Ooh, it’s a struggle. Last night was good, I made 2k easily but tonight was another story entirely.
It was a struggle to get what I had written done. And that’s me. There’s no point banging the words in and getting depressed about it. Better quit while I’m still feeling up about everything and pick it up later.
I’m away this weekend so there may not be any kind of update until the end of Sunday, and I’m not sure what is going to get done words wise. Still, I have breathing room, hopefully I won’t fall behind too badly.

Yeah! Come on!
Today was a tough day, there’s no denying that but I did manage to dig past the pain and bash those words into place.
I can’t say much for the quality, but that’s what the editing process is for.
Content first, editing later. That’s that name of the game this year.
At some point, when I have the time I’m going to go over particular problems I’m having at this stage. But later, much later as i’m all written out today.
Oh and before I forget, I’m 10% though the project and it’s only day four!

Whoo! I’ve done well. Very well in fact.
I can’t say much for the quality of the work but that’s not important, the wordcount is high.
And the meet ups are cool, writing with other like minded folk works really well. And they’re a cool bunch.
More writing fun tomorrow.

It’s not long after 4pm and I’m currently sitting in the 13th Note in Glasgow hard at work on this years project. There are about ten of us left and it’s been quite the communal writing experience.
So far i’m on 3162 words and going strong.
Actually that’s a big fib. I’m starting to flag. but 3162 is a fine first day count.
Anyway, back to the grind.
