Want this to be going better...

Bah. I keep trying to earn that 1% increase in pace and it's just ... not ... happening. Then again, it's nearly 3 a.m. and I've been on short sleep rations lately, so I'm not entirely sure who I'm trying to kid here. I should pick this up again in the morning ... actually, hopefully the afternoon ... after a long lie-in and some further thought on plot. It shouldn't be too hard to make up the shortfall tomorrow, when I've got more time to actually sit and write the damn thing. One of the MCs has a lot of explaining to do, and she's one of the wordier ones, so that should help.

I don't believe I'm complaining about having cleared nearly 2.5k words in the last couple of hours. I should maybe stop pushing the upper limit of my endurance, at least long enough to get some sleep.
