@kcincog The short answer to that, Ken, is... no. :) My pace has slowed considerably since returning back to school. I haven't actually written in 4 days. I blame flu fatigue and staying out late. Yeah, it is a personal deadline - I'm already getting bored of my current WIP (or I think I'll get bored if I still haven't finished this by November). I'm trying to write as much as possible - I had a five month hiatus, where the only writing I did was book reviews.
My personal record was 1k words in 25 minutes. That passage wasn't too bad - I didn't bother with punctuation, but it was hell on my fingers. :)) The other day I managed 1.3k words in 52 minutes. The goal is to write at least 2k words per hour, so it makes a difference in the long run. I'm always looking for ways to increase my productivity in the shortest amount of time.
I laughed hard when you mentioned government meaning "nothing really". That's so true - it's quite vague, isn't it? I actually took politics as one of my A-levels in sixth form college (or high school, as you guys would call it). Worse decision I could have made as a 16 year old. I'm not sure why I even took it - I think it may have been because the courses I wanted to go on were full... Luckily, I passed it, so I was glad. Although, unluckily, I have to take a compulsory policy module this year. British politics bores me - after Brexit, England's in a political wilderness. We have an unelected female PM that no one knows diddly squat about, but who the media seems to be bigging up because she has an (un)fashionable dress sense. May's old hat - Thatcher beat her to it.
What's happening in the US is more interesting - I'm following a republican and democrat blog. Stuck-in-the-80s Trump vs Once-is-never-enough Hillary. Not much of a choice haha. Who do you think will win? :)
That's interesting. I've dreamed of two vivid scenes, which I'm going to turn into novels later. :)
