Edited to add: AHAHAHA! THE NOVELTY. Ahahahahaaaa that was totally unintentional! (Yes, yes, I am one of those people who cracks up over stupid puns. Please blame my parents.)

But, I'm still keeping up okay! By week end I needed 4,522 minimum:

Day Six – July 14th, 2008 [Words: 0 today / 3,672 total]

I totally had no excuse for this, just that I was really tired, but yeah, no excuse. :/


Day Seven – July 15th, 2008 [Words: 1,230 today / 4,905 total]

As of 7pm. 588 words. Blaaaahhh. I am having a TOTAL blahh day. I need to do beta duty for poor mimei, (because I forgot that she gave me a chapter like, four days ago) and I am blah blah blah. I had a list about 20 miles long of all the things I needed to do but I have accomplished almost none of them. Oh, apart from one thing that wasn’t even ON the list. Woe woe woe etc.

I really need to stop looking at the computer screen for a while. Anyway, I decided to chop the end of chapter eight where it felt right, even though essentially nothing happens in the chapter, so chapter 8 is done and chapter 9 is *checks* 1,508 words in.

My marks for last semester became available tonight since 6pm. Unfortunately, so did the marks for everyone else at my uni and now the servers have crashed. I really want to go check if they are up yet but I really should just leave it alone for a few hours. *cries*

Later: Got marks back. Not what I was expecting but perfectly acceptable for semester of hell. Still no more words. Betaing done tho.

12:36pm Hah! Success! 1,230 words and I am so fucking DONE for today, seriously. My eyes feel like they’re exploding and I’ve only been AWAKE for 11 hours! Sheesh!

Also caught up with my brothers today, which was nice, and the presents I got for my parents FINALLY got to them and Mum called to squee about going to the ballet with me. And she loved the card. Dad said, 'thanks for the bit of wood with a hole in it' which was okay, since that's what I gave him. (it was a stupid gift. A wine-bottle balancing holder thing. :/) So I'm feeling all family-ified and that is nice.
