I wrote almost 2000 words already. And then I just... cracked. I can't write a novel this month. I have work commitments that need to be completed (in fact, that's what I'll be doing quite a bit of Saturday, I suspect). I hadn't realized the full extent of my commitments to GesherCity this month. We're talking 2-3 events each week.
And I got more than a little bit of a guilt trip from certain friends of a significant nature.
But don't think I'm stepping away from the challenge completely. I still may try to sneak it into my schedule. But darnit, I'm going to go to my knitting group tonight. And afterwards (or maybe there) I'm going to swatch Autumn Rose if it kills me.
You, you sweater you... you WILL be done in November. Cue the evil laughter.
I think my sudden change of heart may have been spurred by realizing I already hate my protagonist. I don't want to get to know her better. Why not quit while I'm ahead?
Oh, and here's my pretty little washcloth! Do I smell holiday gifts? Please disregard my apparent inability to weave in ends. This took longer than it should have- I watched an episode of House, two episodes of Rome, and the season finale of Battlestar Gallactica, season one. But I suspect the next one would be much faster. It would also be helpful if I could locate which project is using my size 7 KnitPicks Options needles, since I was required to do the whole thing on DPNs yesterday. It worked, but it was a bit tangly.
