Very good advice. When you look at the amount of time that goes into revising the initial garbage that becomes an award winning work, you can see that it's about persistence and refusing to stop until you reach the level you intended.

How has everybody been doing lately?

I haven't done a Weekend Kickoff blog post in a while, because I've been both a little busy, and a little six. But I want to get back into it soon, just to give some regular updates.

Hit another milestone a moment ago, just 15 minutes before midnight in Norway.


I surpassed 30K words today, just in time to have written 30K in 30 days, throughout September. Wooo!

How is everyone spending their Sunday?

I'm having another session of pizza and writing at the restaurant downstairs (it's still to be determined whether it's a gift and a curse to live in the same building as a pizza restaurant), accompanied by a glass of water, some sugar-free soda, and coffee with free refill.


Basically, I'm taking advantage of their buffet offer while it's still

Don't blow your nose loudly like a trumpet out in public when people around you are trying to eat. That's not a note to self; I'm saying that as one of the individuals who was serenaded by one such bubbly trumpet sound right behind me.

I'm not really the type of person who would have thrived in a cubicle on a daily basis, but this right here isn't the worst idea of an "office" I've worked in. (over 16K words and counting)
