Doesnt everyone spend the night before T-giving first-drafting the next book?



The night air tasted sharp, as though it had flowed over ice on its way to the island. Jani tightened the fasteners of her weatherall's throatpiece, then worked her hands deeper into her pockets. Gloved though they were, they ached, as did her face, her feet. I used to run about in a t-shirt and trainers in weather like this. Back when she was thirteen, and impervious to weather. Back in her human days.

What, you mean everyone doesn't?

Gotta get it done. Gotta get it done. Gotta get it done.

23 pages so far today! My normal speed is more like 6.

We're sick.

Gotta get it done. Gotta get it done. Gotta get it done.

That, too.

My normal speed is single digits as well, until the end. My best one-day production was 23 pages, but my brain felt like a wrung-out washrag afterwards.

I think I have a mental block on how many I've done in a day...I know I did about 200 pages in a couple weeks, but I was wiped for a month afterward.

I don't know how [livejournal.com profile] rachelcaine does it--she regularly does 4-5,000 words a day....
