Just a quick post to inform all interested parties that the race is over – my friend Claire got to her target of 45.000 words yesterday evening, two full days ahead of schedule, while I was still struggling with my last 10.000 words.

I’d like to extend my congratulations and best wishes.
At this point, I imagine she’s sitting easy by the finish line, waiting for me to limp there.

Back to work, now.
It’s not a race against others – it’s a race against myself.
