Why This Is Hell

( I have bookshelves without books on them. )

( I went to watch a film about football last night. )

( I spent part of the day looking for a seduction advice book. )

More progress on the Big Project - the Bibliography has pushed up the word count. Hurrah. Back to the novel in an hour or so.

EDIT Will read some of the novel in bed, although I still haven't made it (the bed) up since Tuesday. The bedding is dry, mind. Minor panic as the addition of the bibliography - and this is not yet complete - takes the total to 113000, leaving 47000 words to go - but with the outstanding commissions and the unassigned entries, I had 55000 or so words to go, and I need to take into account three more entries. I cut the remaining wordcounts on the unassigned entries, then realised there were 2000 words to remove from the commissions pile as they came in Tuesday. Upshot is I have 29000 words left to write, which is a rather healthier 1700 words a day then the 2500 it had been looking like...

I have this awful feeling I may yet have to go back and hold people to their commissioned word counts...

113,000 / 160,000 (70.6%)
