No count for today. It became a reading day--Robert Louis Stevenson and Christina Rossetti. Oh well. But tomorrow I'll be churning out at least 4 pages on RLS, and hopefully a few more on the main paper.

I got 1649 written today. Unfortunately, I kept getting interupted at work. Too much multi-tasking has gotten me flustered.

I've had a nervous breakdown. Actually I've had several. Recommend blowing off all of your resposabilities for awhile. That doesn't really help, but it would make me feel better.

6259 for day three. Just behind Prometheus, unfortunately, but I'm at a really good chapter break and I need some sleep. I'll pass you tomorrow....

Day 3 stats are up.

Day 3 is easier to do. Because you're supposed to be exactly 10% done now. That means the daily percentage is 10 times that of the total percentage. Half as many calculations to do.

Everyone's doing great, though I'm a little behind. Keep it up folks!

End of Day 4 - 12,934 words total.

I'm still on track, but not massively ahead, and I'm pretty sure from tomorrow until wednesday I'll be lucky to get ANY done. After that though, well, 5k a day again.

SE, there's something strange going on with the day 3 stats. Ms. Fish is up in the calendar header (and I'm not there).

See now if I hadn't spent last night writeing an article you wouldn't have to put up with this Stacer.  How dare MsFish get the headline!

msfish has been removed. I didn't put anyone else in the headline. It was a copy/paste thing. I love SiteAid because it colors my tag text on the display, but the one annoying thing about it is copy/pasting has weird results: you have to wait a moment after pasting for it to figure out what it's doing. Otherwise your paste will end up at the top of the doc, or if you're just a little slow, in the middle. I copy/paste similar code a lot and just change the details. In this case, MsFish's wordcount was selected to be the template for everyone in day 3. I forgot this weird behavior and just hit CTRL-V a ton of times. I thought I'd caught them, but I must have missed that.

Shut up! I don't have to explain myself to you! (realizing I'm just babbeling.

I only put people who post new word counts that day. It saves time for me.

My word count is also showing up as 3336, which isn't right, although the percentages are, I think. I believe the word counts on the calendar are off for other people too. Very strange. Oh...looking at the calendar again, it seems that I got copy/pasted MsFish's numbers for Day 2.

I hit a battle scene before I left work yesterday, and that helped me churn out the rest of the material for that day and most of the next. You totally would have squashed me without that, Fell.  8)
