If I repeat that enough, do you think I might get the message and allot myself more writing time earlier in my assignment windows??? (Hint: the answer is almost certainly NO. *sigh*)
ETA 1:15am: 18,500 words, and I am still not quite at the politics. Almost, though! Just another hundred words or so and I will achieve politics! *crosses fingers*
