My brain hurts

I spent the day writing and writing and writing. I’m still writing. I’m not sure I like my chances for finishing this story in time to make tomorrow’s submission deadline, but I guess I’m going to push through and see what happens. Right now, I’m just sort of stuck, and running out of time. (Also a little worried about winding up with a crap story when I’m done.)

I also managed to do the crossword puzzle today, but that’s about it. I even skipped my weekly writing group to stay home and write. How’s that for pseudo-dedication?!

Have I mentioned, though, that my brain kind of hurts? I think the caffeine, sleep deprivation, and intense focus are starting to get to me. I’ll have all those things in spades, though, with the 3-Day Novel contest come the first weekend of September, so I guess this is good practice.
