clo_againYou have no idea how much stuff I have to do by the end of today. I'm meant to be hitting 3,000 words of fantasy novel by 5pm -- and then spend an hour or so rewriting the other 1,000 -- and so far I've managed 259. Which was just rewriting the end of a scene I'd *already written*.
On the plus side I wrote about 1,600 words of non-fiction stuff yesterday which is finished apart from a last line to tie it off. On the downside, that's the *only* thing I've finished for non-fiction and I need to finish the novel extracts by early evening because I need to spend the rest of the night rewriting non-fiction stuff. And then I was supposed to be writing another short story for the 303 portfolio, which I kind of know what it's meant to be but have no idea of specifics. I'm not even sure I can write it in such a short space of time, because it's the kind of thing that needs lots of meaningful dialogue (and preferably biblical research which I so do not have time for right now). But it'll still probably be easier than rewriting the other story that's an option, since that's more complicated.
And yet I'm still on LJ instead of working. And just about to go make myself a cup of tea, because I need the destressing. Sigh. Remember last year when I said I wouldn't do this? Yeah.

You'll get through it. It's always this crazy when it comes to portfolios - they're practically *designed* to suck your brain out through your nose. Honestly.
I still haven't written those other two peer critiques, or the reflective essays, or the self-critique, which means I still have at least 5,000 words left, not counting the 305 and 303 rewrites which I still have to do. From here on in, it's all about the all-nighters. At least you have a full week to revise for Shakespeare after this; I have to work like crazy over the weekend to revise Modernism and *then* Shakespeare!
But after that, it's aaalll done. Just think: you'll have Heroes on tap, and none of the waiting left because there are only two episodes left to air of series one.
