The fifth one

Weather: Breezy and summery
Listening to: Led Zeppelin box set

Perhaps I should rename this blog "the fearless writer" because it seems to me that to rack up massive word counts you need to be utterly certain that what you write is okay. There is no time to second guess, you must just keep going. I'm certainly not feeling fearless this week, as I have hit 50000 words and have an awful sinking feeling I've completely screwed up the chunk I've just written. I think I wrote it as "beginning" when it should have been "middle". Hmmm. They have different functions, you see. Now I'm not sure what goes in the middle.... sigh.

In good news, those little Fantastica books I wrote have attracted a very nice deal in France. I wrote them frantically, so it can't be all bad.
