why would you do this?

Day... uh... 7?

Let me state for the record that this is utter insanity. Mind you, I'm ahead on one of my novels (by a couple days), and progress on it is steady and reliable. I can write 4000-5000 words a day in it without even blinking. It's easy, even. Who knew that the more you talked about things, the easier it got to do so? Well, I's always heard the theory, but I'd never bothered to put it into practice.

I can't remember how to spell anything. I thank the heavens for Word's ability to autocorrect everything that I write. I make snarky comments at the undergrads in the library who talk on their cell phones. I drink too much tea. I've foregone everything else that I need to do in the course of my life because I want to finish these two books.

The second novel gives me a bit more trouble. While I realized that my word count is slightly higher than I thought it was, it's still nowhere near on par. I know where it's going, which is terribly different than the first novel, because I know where the other has been.
