Progressing Slowly But Surely

[marfisk]

Made some good progress with the rest of the 48 hr marathon for a total of 10k and change. Then, managed to have a chaotic week and just barely managed 6501 from Sunday-Saturday. It's below my goal of 7k per week, but I'm making good progress. Wardah's getting two very different impressions of Talib's desires between the slave minder and Talib's sister.

And looking at the stats below, odd how the percentage doesn't seem to change no matter how much I write :p.

And stats:
75 scenes
37 complete - 49% of the novel
38 remain
104173 Estimated length - with an average of 1389 words per scene.
51392 Current Total

I was just saying, is all.

You manage to create more work for yourself than anyone else I know.

LOL! True enough. I have this terribly fear of being left with nothing to do. I don't handle "quiet time" well and can't even sit around reading for long unless the book completely absorbs me. You think a two-year-old has a short attention span? Those kidlets have nothing on me :D.

Nothing left to do? Who has 60 short stories to either edit and submit or trunk for good? And how many novel ideas do you have that haven't seen the light of day yet because you haven't had time for them? And then there's Vision and site work for FM -- and I know there are at least a couple pages that you haven't gotten to because you have to dive into the code, and that would take too much time. And the backlog on your reading. And, and, and . . . nothing left to do?

ROFL

LOL

I didn't say it was sane or rational, I said it was what it was :D. And besides, I'd do ANYTHING to avoid that nasty edit pile...she says while answering this post instead of actually editing the short story she's been staring at.

And I've been working on a meme *somebody* passed along to me rather than tackle that editing project of mine. Guess I should be careful about throwing those stones, hmmm?

Hey, I said no wolverines would come :p. And I've made it past the first paragraph of my edit at least...turned it into 4 :p.
