I have actually written more than 30k words in a little over a week. I am rather impressed with myself. And I don't think my novel is quite as bad as its two predecessors, too.
That's not too bad a result for the start. I'll have to go to IT training for the new job again tomorrow, but not for the whole day as today. It'll be four hours or so. So, hopefully, I will get to the point from which 10,000 doesn't seem so out of reach anymore. Now I have to deal with my sleep deficit ...
