Less than 48 hours to go before the insanity starts. How's everyone feeling right now?

Personally I'm absolutely terrified. I don't think there's any way at all that I can make 50,000 words in a month. The story has plenty in it to reach the target; I just don't write fast enough to do it.

I've finished plotting and replotting and re-replotting, and I've got the whole thing mapped out on A2 (which has got to be the most awkward size ever for carrying around with me rolleyes.gif I've got my characters, I've got the world and I've come down with the flu and am feeling dreadful.

And then Saturday suddenly seems far, far too close. It's Thursday night already...

What AM I doing?

Okay everyone, chant with me: "We WILL hit a brick wall and end up typing gibberish, we WILL hit a brick wall and end--"

Oh, wait, that's the unofficial mantra, isn't it?

"We WILL write beautiful prose and make our deadline, we WILL write beautiful prose and make our deadline..."

I've found myself staring, hyponitized, at the countdown Bart has so graciously installed on my blog. It's an incredible sensation to watch it tick down, second by second... a whole novel, in 2592000 of them. ermm.gif

Nome, feeling sick.gif
