If I can break 14K by the end of today I'm going to call it a draft.

Now I've got something to revise.

The back of the thesis is broken and I can see that I'll get it finished. This is a big thing for me. I barely completed my first masters and I burned out half way through writing my PhD and never finished. I've got some self-respect invested in doing this, and I've been working through ferocious panic attacks and a strong desire to do anything else at all. I honestly don't know if I could ever write a novel on contract, although I'm fine at work.

I'm going to bed now. I'm helping out tomorrow at the Worldcon, and tomorrow afternoon a friend is arriving whom* I used to work beside in Eindhoven. Busy busy, and this is supposed to be my summer holiday . . .

* I've never got the hang of who/whom but 'who' doesn't seem right here. Must look it up.
