Word count:
Today - 1460
Total - 10010
It's halfway through the month and I'm barely a fifth of the way through my word count. You know, I had some really good advice for myself last year - it's a pity I totally ignored it this time around.
So. I have 15 days left in which to write 40,000 words.
It's time to either give up - or attempt to do the impossible.
Well, the only way to go down is fighting.

Never promise to do the possible. Anyone could do the possible. You should promise to do the impossible, because sometimes the impossible was possible, if you could find the right way, and at least you could often extend the limits of the possible. And if you failed, well, it had been impossible.
