Day 8: -237 words

Yes, that's a negative number. It took me over two hours to transcribe yesterday's chunk, partly because of all the time I had to spending squinting at and puzzling out the alien chicken-scratchings. My handwriting is abysmal. In the end, it turned out I'd overestimated the wordage, too.

So in all, it took me about four and a half hours to write those 3263 words. Considering I do about 1800 in an hour when I just type, it's really not worth my while to mess around with the pen and paper. Which means I probably won't attend another write-in unless I can borrow a laptop. Dang. But let's be realistic. If I count in the three hour round trip to get to campus and back, that's a full day spent wasted on what I could accomplish at my own desk in under two hours. No thanks.
