I will not relent.

The thing about working 12-hour days is that there is almost no time left to do anything else. Recreation goes first. Then eating properly. Then socialization. Then dealing with anything in a rational or sane way. Today, I've chosen to forgo sleep so that I don't go apeshit. The work/sleep/work/sleep cycle has to be broken, and my employers sure as hell aren't going to let up any time soon.
All of this said, I have no intention of curtailing or in any way modifying my plans to write a novel during the month of November. And I won't allow myself to fail, either. I am publicly declaring it here and now. I am going to write and finish a full novel, while working 12 hours a day on the side.
50,000 words. 1,600 words per day, providing that I write every single day in the month of November.
No problem.
Needless to say, posting will be pretty much nonexistent beginning next Tuesday.
Now I'm off to buy some coffee.

You are insane. Clearly. But I applaud the sentiment.

At least the money must be piling up in every nook and cranny. I think you should buy a new MacBook Pro and sell me your G4 cheap!

(sigh) I guess this means the Mac & Cheese experiment will be on hold until December.
Good luck!

I know you have to pay all the bills yourself so there is not a huge amount left. And you never have anyone helping. But, the extra, I hope you have some fun with it. You deserve so much.
