900 Words - Yesterday 500 Words - Today  Progress the past two days--spares though it is--has been made through sheer force of will. It was the best I could do, and so I have to be happy with it. The class I teach is a huge investment in energy, of course, and so by Wednesday I was dead on my feet, and so Thursday morning I was emotionally barren. Each of those 900 words were pulled out of my inner self at high expense. If I had not had the detailed outline to tell me what needed to be done, I suppose I wouldn't have done anything at all. I was so drained this morning that I slept past my normal time, and only managed 500 words. With the extra sleep, those 500 came a bit easier. I'm posting a bit early this morning, so I may even get a few more in there before I call it quits. Regardless, this meams I go into the weekend (plus Monday! Don't forget Monday!) needing probably 25,00-30,000 words to finish. It will be a tough chore. I don't know if I can manage it. But a shooter shoots, and if I do make it, I'll have needed every one of the 1,400 words I pulled out of myself these past two days.   Have a great day.   What the heck do I have to lose?
