Deadine

Faced with a deadline,

1. I decide I have to read Trollope's 'Orley Farm'.
2. I cook a huge meal, rajma-rice, masala aloo, grilled chicken, rice kheer.
3. I watch 'Kashmir ki Kali'.
4. I feel ill, feverish.
5. I want to scrap everything that I have written so far. Who wants to read this crap? Does it make any sense at all? Is it meaningful? NO.
6. I take photos in the rain.
7. I spend evenings analyzing myself.
8. Find new blogs to link to, and new networks to join.
9. I use the Thesaurus option as I have never done before. Using four words where one would do. I just want to reach the 100,000 mark as soon as I can.

I hope my editor is not reading this.

Hey, how was the kheer? If it was thick and creamy, you got it right.

100,000 words?! Holey moley - what are you writing?!

Grasshopper, Yes, the kheer turns out lovely. It's become my staple diet. And there goes my weight loss program.

Space Bar, Writing a secret. :)

Kheer and KKK...sigh. Sounds lovely.

Stop analyzing so much :-) Have faith, you write beautifully. And who is going to count to make sure you've reach 100000 words? 99990 should be enough ;-)

What you've been doing is called painting the wagon wheels- (when the crop is ready to be harvested_.
All the best. As memsaab says, stop analyzing so much!
