For what it's worth, I am ahead of my daily goals for Crimson City (I think I'm going to call mine "Crimson Key" or something like that). We'll see. I have to be really strict with myself. Backside in chair, no email, straight typing. Plus I need to institute a rule about not going back to edit, much. I think maybe the rule could be no editing until after I've hit word goal. Then I can go back.

Interesting thought, if a bit lowering. If I pull this off, I think that means all this time I thought I was working as hard as I could, I wasn't. I think I got lazy. Pressure is good. Ask me again in a month. I'm still on the honeymoon.
