Monomania
I am tired. But in the past two and a half days, I've expanded
that first draft to 74,000 words. If I kept up that rate, then
in another five days I'd hit my minimum first-draft target and
in another three I'd blow through my word limit.
Alas, I can't do that: I've got to re-check the proofs to IRON
SUNRISE and get them back to my editor by the middle of the
week. So I'm about to take two or three days off THE CLAN
CORPORATE, and then I'll probably need a day to lie down and
pant before I go back to attack the ending.
Hmm. Eight days plus three days. That sounds almost
manageable. Eighteenth of March. Hmm again: then I think I
shall sleep for the rest of the month.
If I'd known how hard this job would be before I started, I'd
probably have given up and decided to become an accountant
instead.
