Final Scores (Back from the Cabin)

Well I got some of it wrong. Although Lawrence and I most likely had gone out for tonic water, we managed to magically return from this trip to the shops with KFC. Which rather sounds like us. No doubt absorbing vast quantities of fried chicken was entirely essential to the creative process. Also, after the many hours of talking and thinking, I was typing up all of these notes with Lawrence crashed out unconscious on my floor. It's these charming little details that I forget.

The above did not occur.

Good weekend, all told. It managed to be both productive and very fun, and we managed to see some other friends in and around all the writing.


Some Facts & Figures:

90,000 - Words at current count (I was previously a bit off, apparently).
2,000 - New words written by me over the weekend.
5,000 - Words transcribed by Lawrence from various notebooks/napkins/pieces of human skin.
∞ - Very useful and important decisions and clarifications regarding the novel.
31st December 2012 - The date by which we will have a first draft. This will happen.
125 - Days in which we have to complete the above feat.
800-1000 - Approximate words we'll need to be writing per day (each) to achieve this.

Bombay Sapphire - Writer's Gin of Choice.


And no, I don't drink this much when writing alone. It wouldn't be sustainabible.
