under pressure

...I wrote 14,302 words today. My fingers hurt. I may quite well have developed carpal tunnel. But I finished the #%&@ novel.

Slightly over 2k of said words were at work, during lunch break and while I was waiting for my simluations to run. The other 12k were written at home, between the hours of seven and midnight. K did not let me watch basketball (the meanie) even though Maryland was playing Minnesota. He cooked dinner and all but fed it to me. At about 10:30, I found out I could type much faster if I didn't use capitals. At about 11, I stopped going back to fix spelling errors (I typed with my eyes closed). And thus I made the 50k wordcount, with ten whole minutes to spare before the deadline.

I owe K, and I owe [livejournal.com profile] melindaloquita for the silly cheering. And my deepest thanks to [livejournal.com profile] bkleber for being understanding when I stood him up for rock climbing, just so I could finish this piece of ridiculousness.

And now, to bed.

Does it count if it hasn't been edited?
