Day of Words Part 2: 12:05 am

Didn't quite get where I wanted, thanks to some prime prevarication and the scheduled break of four hours at the pub in the evening. Hammered out another thousand or so in the two hours before that, followed by another thousand since twenty to eleven. That's probably the most productive I've been all day - after three pints of Kilkenny, a very crap plate or fish and chips and most of a bottle of Vanilla Coke, which I am sure says something not altogether complimentary about me. That brings the first day's count to something like 4000 words, completes Chapter 11 (the longest to date – I'll post it up in the morning) and rounds off the wordage at just under 79,000.

Decided I'm still going to be sick again tomorrow, because this gives me a much better sense of satisfaction and because, actually, after the aforementioned menu, I'm feeling kind of awful. Hope I'm not coming down with anything.

Better get some sleep. Tune in again tomorrow for lots of unnecessary updates about how much work I am not doing.

Well I was going to say 'Go Dave - You Can Do It!' and other such motivational messages, but clearly they would have been misplaced, and I'd have been
a right chump for saying so.

Still, the luck of the Irish be wit' ye (yes, that's a hint).

Yes, lucky dodge on the whole chump-looking thing there. It's the burden I have to live with, being a constant disappointment to those who look to me for guidance and inspiration.

Still, you'd think they'd be used to it by now.

How's the Emerald Isles then?
