cl0ckw0rkf0xYeah, so like, fricking everybody's doing it, so ok.
My biggest excuse was that I write on paper and have no convenient way of figuring out how many words I'd written, cause not only that, I tend to add up to half a page worth in the margins at times, but I'll let go of that excuse and work around it. I have two chapters - about 25 pages worth in the same book I'll be writing in, typed out, so I've figured out how many words per page figured out on average, and I'll go with that (about 350 words per page.)
Of course, I'll be working on Timekeeper, and see if I can't finish it or at least get really close. I realise there's no way I'll make 50 000 words, because I'm in university and will have a whole three physics lab reports that take three hours due this month, among other things, but I figure this will teach me to manage my time better. At worse, I will learn how hard I can push myself, and whether or not I can force myself to write successfully.
Wish me luck.
PS: as of now, 5250 words
