Flashes of Panic

If I’m not posting here very much, what am I doing?

I paused for a moment this afternoon to add up what I’ve done since arriving last Thursday, not quite a week ago. As near as I can tell, it adds up to 23,327 words (give or take 50 or so,) and that’s only the paying work. I’m averaging about 4,000 words per day (actually, more than that since competition started,) which means I can expect to top 40,000 by the time all is said and done, probably not more than 45,000.

A little web research suggests that this is about half the length of a short novel, and I’m writing it in less than two weeks. Pity it would be utterly unreadable (or at least incoherent) if it was all collected in one place.
