Help Yourself - novel progress

[andrewmck]

Whenever I set myself to a task I can be sure that disaster will surely ensue. Since I posted that I was starting this novel project I had received a flurry of urgent client requests to fix and update websites. My mum's knee has become infected and she's had to go back to hospital for an antibiotic drip. I've been wiped out with a pulled neck muscle and a cold (not a flu, luckily!). And, today, the teachers had a stop work meeting so the boys were here all morning making noise and asking for things.

Nevertheless, I finally sat down last night and got things started. First chapter is done and chapter two is coming fine so far. I'm looking at getting a few more words written this afternoon.  The current word count?

Starting's the hardest thing. And then it's just momentum. Good luck! And here's hoping the orbiting disasters leave you alone now.

Thanks Karen, although it is the momentum bit I usually have trouble with. Starting things is easy for me. Finishing them is the problem. This time though! And Bah! to the disasters. I'm gonna finish this thing regardless of what gets in the way.
