Week 2!

Me, next to the Bears defense. Only one of the two of us showed up to work today.

As week 2 started, we were at 17,030 words which is about 2 days ahead of the 30 day pace. We still have no plot to speak of, but hell, what's that matter? Words still come. I despair that there is nothing to write and then go ahead and write another few dozen words. This thing is being written in 100-word chunks, each of which takes about 5 minutes to write with 15 minute intervals in between each one.

As I write this, we're up to a whopping 18699 words. Here are some of today's. Not too many. It's Sunday and I know you would rather be watching football. Or poking yourself in the eye.

"Come now, Mr. Dewey. Don't be so dramatic," Decimal said soothingly. "You've had a rough few days. It's perfectly understandable."
"But that's just the thing," Dui looked up. "The past few days haven't been any more or less rough than all the ones before it. They've all been equally mediocre, more or less, taken on average."
