It’s 12:06 am, I work in 7.5 hours and I have a 30-minute commute. I must get up and feed the pups, let them out to do their business and feed myself too. So in roughly 5.5 hours, I will be rolling from my bed like the zombie I will be and heading to work 8 hours in retail.

It’s going to be a long day (I don’t partake in the nectar of the writing gods, that which is known as coffee).

What will not help make it any shorter is the fact that I am right smack dab in the middle of what can only be considered the rise to the climax and the two guilds in my story are currently fighting the Inquisition who are an elite group of magicians who have specialised in hunting these particular people.

The one thing stopping me is how exactly tired I am.

Anyway, I’m very happy to say I am on my way with zest and gusto to the wonderous 75% mark (or 37.5k words) and that’s not too bad considering we are only halfway through the month and I work a mentally exhausting job, especially as Christmas closes in.

Anyway, this was just an update, how are you folks doing out there? Do you need that cheer squad?
