6 chapters down, 3 to go. 8500 words so far today. I may sit down and write another 1500 later, just to make it a nice even 10K, but I hit my actual goal of finishing up through chapter 6, so I’m very satisfied.
I am on track to shatter my current most-words-written-in-3-days record, which stands (and has stood since 1998) at 24,000 words. I expect this to come in at 27K, and I anticipate being done tomorrow.
I anticipate falling over dead after that. :)
Actually, I’m feeling incredibly perky, for having written nearly 19K in the last 48 hours. And now I’m off to the chiro, because my back’s being a little nasty after all this sitting and typing, and to do OTHER STUFF that’s AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD, because I’ve been typing for about 6 hours today. Oi.

Belated comment on the nasty back from sitting and typing — I’ve been trying out using a big exercise ball for sitting on at work the last few days. The first few days my back was very, very tired from getting unused exercise, but now it’s a lot better. And not a trace of stiffness, which is the important thing, my back may be tired but I’m not walking like an inverted L after long typing sessions :)
I couldn’t use one of those to do my writing, ’cause I use a laptop which I in fact balance on my lap, and that’d be too much work. Maybe it’d be good for me at the desktop, though…
