7 down, just in time

I'm feeling really proud of myself right now 'cos I've managed to knock out 20 chapters in 3 days and I haven't had a single uninterrupted day throughout.


Tomorrow and Friday I've got a couple of deliveries arriving as well as my two carers every day, Saturday is free (other than the carers) then Sunday is very limited time-wise.  I've managed to knock out 20k already though, so I'm feeling pretty proud of my achievements and I'll be half way through by the time I go to bed tomorrow.


I'm gonna take my last two pills of the day, have my chapter choccie then head to bed methinks.


I'll be back again in the morning, hopefully earlier than I was today lol



6 down so far and I'm hoping...

...to make it to 7 before I hit the hay.


T'was a veery slow start this morning and I've had times when I've had to stop writing for a while today, so to achieve 6 chapters is pretty good going I reckon.


I'm gonna have my chapter choccie reward as well as the belated 5 chapter reward then see what the time is like and if I've got time to put in a 7th chapter.


Proud of myself for getting so far ahead already.  It's looking likely that I'll hit the half way point tomorrow then I can breathe for a while on Sunday before it all starts again on Monday.


5 down, 0 to go so...

...everything from now will be a bonus.


I've had my chapter choccie but make myself a mug of coffee before I realised that I'd earnt my 5 chapter reward, so I've brought that in and I'll open it when I've slurped my way through the coffee.


I reckon another chapter is pretty easily doable before I hit the sack, but if I can get two done then I'd love that 'cos it'll be easier maths for me and I'll have reached the half way point before Friday which is even better... if I carry on like this, it'll be half way after only 4 days which is even better!


4 down, 1 to go

Just finished my fourth chapter of the day, had my chocolatey reward and made myself another mug of tea to keep me going.  It's looking likely that I'll've finished the 5th chapter, hopefully by round 4.30pm then I can have my big reward and anything else is a bonus.  I'll be over half way before the weekend which means I can relax and enjoy Sunday rather than worrying about how far behind I'm getting.


I can do this, despite all the interruptions I've had so far this week and I haven't put myself under any kind of deadline (other than within the time limit of JanNo) so I've been able to relax and enjoy it more than in previous years.



3 down, 2 to go

I've just finished writing chapter 16 so I'm gonna have my chapter reward before my lunchtime carer comes then the afternoon is all mine, now that the plumber has been, taken the measurements and gone to his supplier.


I'd love to get to chapter 20 before I hit the sack, but that's another 4 chapters so I doubt I'll manage it, but that's OK as long as I get at least two written this afternoon so that I can get my 5 chapter reward.


Two down, three to go

The second chapter of the day only took 1½ hours to write, thankfully, but the plumber is due any time now so I'm not sure how much I'll get written before I have my lunch, but as long as I get five chapters written so that I can have my J2O then that's fine by me today.  I've already written 3 days worth of chapters in total so anything else is a bonus today.


1 down, 4 to go so far today

That first chapter took 3 hours to write so I'm well behind schedule now, but it's down on paper/screen so I've only got another 4 to go before I've earnt my reward... will it only be 5 chapters today?  I hope not, but it's OK if it is.


Time to go for a wee then have my first single chapter reward of the day I reckon.
