novel_in_90 sitrep, week 3

[lauraanne_gilman]

A day late but not a dollar short.

17,551 words in the bank. Including the day I missed, I'm averaging about 780 words a day. But I've only missed one day in 22. Not bad. Need to kick it up a notch next week.

and, with all due apologies to Robert Frost...

"Stopping By the Library on a Workday Evening"


Whose words these are I think I know.
Her book is at the printers though;
She will not see me stopping here
To make my brain expand and grow.
My little PC must think it queer
To stop without an ending near
Between the words and prime rib steak
Reward for making goal this year.
It gives my laptop keys a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the meep
Of tempting nap and half-hour's break.
The sofa is lovely, soft and deep.
But I have deadlines to keep,
And pages to go before I sleep,
And pages to go before I sleep.
