Am I blogging...or am I pitching my existence?

The Pitch: It's like The Shining meets Run, Lola, Run!  

Christ, I'm behind.

True, I'm not that far behind, mind you. Ideally, I should be at 45,000 or better and I'm at just a hair over 43k. But I have a headache, my head hurts, I'll be getting up at 5:30 tomorrow morning, it's a fucking arctic windtunnel in our apartment.

Have you ever heard the expression "Lost the plot?" It is literally true in my case--I had a three page printout explaining what was going on in my rock band murder mystery and I lost the fucking thing a week ago. I suppose if I tired I could work myself up to a fair bit of paranoia if I wanted, but, frankly, any aspiring novel stealer who wants to have a go at this damn book, be my guest. I'm sick of the fucking thing.

And unfortunately, since I won't be done at 50k, I'm going to have to keep working at it. Yes, this is my yoke: to keep at the book until finished.
