Haha, good luck. XD I was really keen last time but ended up writing zip because life got busy.

This time though I should be able to pull it off.

It's my exam month.

I might aim for something like 15K (or whatever the equivalent of 1667 a day is) after that though, so in on those terms.

Fair enough, Grief, lol. I'll put you down for around 15k after your exams are through, haha.

@Sinisdar - whaaat, can't you do both?

Today's total: 1249 words. Could have done more, but had a rehearsal after work and am knackered. Gonna struggle tomorrow, as my cousin is getting married. But will see if I can do anything in the evening.

Nearly 1800 words today, split between novel and the competition short story. Am muchly enjoying the short story, and am also at a good place in the novel. Things are definitely Starting To Happen

After a break of a few days to perform and record Elgar's "The Apostles" with Sir Mark Elder and the Hallé Orchestra, which left me rather far behind. But I shall catch up!
