She’s keeping me on task, that’s for sure. I was going to deal with only having about 700 words written for the day. And she talked me into continuing on, trudging mercilessly through another 600 words for a total today of 1,365.

Man, this is tough going. And it’s only day two! I can’t imagine how this is going to feel by day fifteen.

The worst part about this is that I can really only get any writing done late at night, when my brain has turned to mush. So I have very little motivation to get any writing done when I’m tired and not thinking clearly.

I guess that’s why the wife is keeping me focused! She knows I want to do this, and she’s going to keep me going through the whole thing.

There will be time to rest (and edit!) in December. For now … WE WRITE!
