Nov. 8th, 2005 12:12 amWell I'm getting there. I'm about 4/5,000 words behind my target at the moment and the inspiration faerie is demanding a little more than an hour's break. The main problem has been my damned laptop blowing up on me. It keeps crashing, then it will blue-screen on me and decide that it can't find the hard disk when I try to reboot. I think there's a loose connection in there somewhere from when they replaced the fan.
I am getting a new machine courtesy of my ever beloved parents, it's to be an early Christmas present apparently because I'm better off having it when I can get the most use out of it than them making me wait until the end of December when I'm suffering crushing depression because I didn't complete my 50,000. It was something of a spur of the moment decision when mine started buggering about and we pick it up tomorrow so I will be back on my own computer rather than having my mum's machine and its associated net connection to distract me! It will be nice to be back to word as well rather than Works....bloody silly program that it is.
Cups of tea: Many!
Word Count: 8,141/50,000 (Bad!)
Sanity: Slipping!
Flashes of inspiration: Several, one rather useful one last night.
Hours spent trying to reboot laptop: Possibly more than I've spent writing since I started!
