I'm just going outside and may be some time. Though hopefully not as long as that nice Titus Oates...
I've got a week left til my birthday. The novel's current incarnation is on 41,500 words. From what I can see of the road ahead, I expect to come in around 80-90,000.
Like that kid on the left there, I've got a daunting task. But hey, slugging out of my weight is practically second nature.
I've also got some kind of summer cold/virus. Given that I thought I saw a white horse in the back yard just now, I may have a bit of a fever as well...
At any rate, my only prayer of finishing this beast involves unplugging the modem. I do promise to check back in on the 3rd and let you all know how everything went.
Meantime, here's a painting by Robert Bailey with a title close to my heart!
Rest assured that this week will indeed be spent at full throttle!

Feel better, Happy Birthday & thanks for sharing the art--stunning!
that white horse? Did it have a horn? Maybe you're finally starting to see through the veil.
Hope your summer cold lifts soon, and good luck with your project. That is a great painting. Briliant in it's depiction of movement.
Hope you feel better. And GOGOGO on the novel!!
Best of luck on the final push!
Good luck! We'll be looking for a report on the 2nd or 3rd. And Happy Birthday in advance.
