missroserose: (Christmas Picard)
[personal profile] missroserose
Finally broke 40K, only...*counts* three days late. Par for today is 45,000. But considering I had a good week of mood swings and non-productivity, that's not too shabby. And assuming I keep at it, it'll be easier than last year, when I did the entire last 10,000 words in one day.

Also, I managed to do 3,000+ words in just over an hour and a half this morning, which is about twice as fast as my usual "working steadily" rate. I'd say I'm just getting better at not self-censoring, except I'm actually sort of proud of the bits I've written this morning - I might post one of them as an excerpt once I get around to the editing part. (Of course, it's perfectly possible that I *am* getting better at the not-self-censoring, and I'm just a better writer than I think I am. But I'm sure I'll have plenty of crap to sort through in the editing process, too.)

But for now? It's time to decorate! Woo, Christmas!

Good luck! *keeps everything crossed for you* I basically bottomed out when my sleep schedule got utterly rearranged by CPR and working on Christmas stuff. It's theoretically POSSIBLE I could catch up at this point... just very, very unlikely. :)

Also, turns out Open Office counts quote marks as words, so I'm actually set back a further 660. >_

How very...open-source of it. May I recommend Yarny.me?

Ah, you may not have seen my incandescent rage when Yarny ate over 2000 words on me for no good reason.

eep. No, I didn't. I guess I've been lucky. Backup time!
