Two hundred days later...

Yesterday was the two hundredth day since I  writing my book on the 1990s. Since I aim to average a thousand words a day, and since I was contracted to write a 200,000-word book, that should mean that I've finished.

Regrettably, I haven't.

I'm still keeping to my scheduled word-count, but the end is not yet in sight. It's going to be a long book, I fear. Indeed, it's already longer than anything I've previously written. Bits of it, however, are quite good.

Are you aiming for the Dominic Sandbrook brevity award? Joking apart I'm looking forward to reading it.

It's getting like that. Lord knows how Sandbrook does it - I'm exhausted by so much writing.
