On the first three days this month I wrote 469, 501 and 302 words respectively. Not bad, but I may have to take a break from writing for a while. I can manage the word counts but it is cutting too deeply into study time
So. Until I have that under control, I should cut back on writing unless suffering a bout of inspiration. This probably means no more story postings for a while too. It is a shame. Just as I was building up a sort of momentum, reaching the climactic scenes and writing some I have been waiting for for years. Part two is just a few thousand words from being a first draft.
Of course then I would have to pretend to know what I was doing with part three, which is even sketchier. I am looking forward to the day this story is complete and I can feel not guilty for working on others.
Since I have already thrown a few numbers in here, last month saw 4893 words written, a fair way short of my target (1307 short to be precise). Unlikely I can make 9000 this month.
Most of the personal stuff lately is being strongly filtered but the results of the great beard experiment are in: everyone loves it, in stark contrast to my long hair. Now, anyone have any tips for getting rid of it (face hair, not head hair)? It comes off tomorrow.
