Randolph I've already fallen three days (10%) behind in my novel writing, so I'm going to take today to catch up. At around 1700 words a day, that's 5000! I'll probably still be going at midnight, at which point I'll have to add on another 1700 … this *is* tough.
Regarding bad taste, here's a SA / Australian joke (translated from Afrikaans):
Did you hear that Steve Irwin is ecstatic now that the Groot Krokodil has joined him?
