FINALLY
FINALLY BROKE 1,000 WORDS.
I was joking with
amand_r that there must be an equation to relate the frequency one checks the word count and the total words one actually produces in a given time period. It's possibly an inverse relationship.
You could also factor in the time spent googling tiny details that could otherwise have been filled in later, but which you are using to procrastinate on the actual writing part. Such as: tea pots, mathematical uses of the letter "T," tea making in Afghanistan, whether L.A. has thunderstorms... it just goes on from here. Then I was briefly sidetracked into reading a metafandom post about threesomes (and to mournfully re-reading the sadly orphaned Pepper/Tony/Steve snippets in my Gdocs) and a segment on How It's Made on how Rolls Royces are constructed. Turns out, mostly by hand. No wonder they're pricey.
Still, despite this, 1,000 words. None of which contribute much towards the goal of ending this story, but hey.
