Slowly but surely getting that number down. Still greater than one per day, though. Doesn't look good for my challenge! (And probably doesn't help that I don't feel too crash hot at the moment.)

Fifteen days to go ...

That maths is probably completely wrong, but my head hurts too much and my throat is too sore to care.
I'm having a night off tonight, seeming as I wasn't concentrating at work properly (most likely due to the combination of losing an hour from the evil side of daylight saving, and the horrible cold that everyone at work's getting, and that's trying to make me feel crap as well). But last weekend was a long weekend, and I did a lot of writing-related stuff, although my totals don't show it.
Here is what my weekend looked like:
Saturday
- went shopping for work clothes (okay, more day job related than writing related), went to the art gallery (last week saw me submit an entry to the York Art Gallery short story competition - the story had to be based on a piece of art work, and there's some beautiful paintings in our city's art gallery), bought the 2009/2010 copy of the Australian Writers Marketplace, and attended a quiz night - which our table won.
Sunday
- watched a DVD of my uncle's trip to America and Japan. It was very slickly edited. Also spent time completing Writing School Assignment Seventeen.
Monday
- More time finishing Writing School Assignment Seventeen (have to teach myself to stop writing stories with a thousand cliches in them!). Started a few short story ideas, and then left them in my subconscious to ferment for a while.
So, considering the last few months where I've whined about procrastination and not being able to do any writing, I think last weekend was quite an achievement for me!
