Again, am tired. Must write. Must get this done.
I want to kill my family.
12:32 have bagsed silence for one hour, much to the disgruntlement of family. Must make the most of this and write.
12:52 Have only done 200 words. I’m jumping from place to place with no real idea what I’m writing today.
1:14 My back really hurts.
1:22 Cushion is helping. 10 minutes to go. Have written 696 words today. Must sit up straight.
1:42 Still going strong. Very happy with this. Am up to 7869 words in total. (1101 words today.) Back is sore. Am certain that today’s blog post will not be an exciting read. Have managed to stay at computer for an hour and ten minutes without getting very distracted! Am very happy with this.
1:52 8000 words, YEAH! (Why am I looking up only every ten minutes exactly?)
2:00 Ernst doesn’t seem very real to me. He might be the heroine’s love interest, but he’s not the main part of the story, and so he’s getting shoved off to the side. Thank goodness I’m writing this organically—I can just go back and add a bit here, a bit there. And I’m sure more will come—after all, it’s only day five and I haven’t even cleared 10 000 words yet!
2:01 Sisters have re-invaded loungeroom in full force. Hope I won’t lose concentration. I’ve only got 300 words to go and then I’ll’ve completed 1600 in one sitting.
2:06 Laugh track on Hannah Montana is strangely enticing…
2:11 Have managed not to look around yet, but haven’t written anything for ten minutes.
2:13 Am giving up for now. Maybe I’ll find some peace and quiet later.
6:35 FINALLY! Peace and quiet. And I need roughly another thousand words. Well, 800 isn’t such a big number, and neither is 200. So 1000 isn’t scaring me either.
6:43 Oh, great. The TV’s going back on AGAIN!
Later: Had fight with sisters over quiet and computer. I asked Dad for earplugs. When I tooke them out later, discovered that the inside of my ear is disgusting. Mum had to call me to dinner twice.
Later: inserted earplugs when brother and sisters put on Get Smart. Has worked. Don Adams and Barbara Feldon shall have no power over me!
