Is that it, then?

Well, it's sunday, and I'm sitting down to write for the first time in a few days. What happened? Well, life got in the way. That, and work, and tiredness.

Can I now do it? It looks doubtful. I have written only 15285 words and that means I have 34,715 words left to write. With only nine days to go, I'd have to write an average of 3,857 words a day to be able to do it.

But, I'm not giving up. I still have my personal goal - to finish before my 40th birthday (5th December), and I still think that I might be able to do that...

Well, I can still try, can't I?
