This week I'm a 10-5 kinda of worker, and then an 8-12 kind of worker. I have a work experience student, and he's here from 10-5, and I'm catching up on last week's work, hence the 8-12. it's very civilised. I get breaks. And having someone here takes me out of the "Aaargh! I have all these deadlines and am behind" zone. By the end of today I'll have caught up on the edits for the first two chapters of the book and those chapters will be safely in a file, waiting for the next stage. With any luck I will also have done the ritual sacrificing to the form-filling-in deities and forms will pretend not to be there for a bit.

I was terrifyingly efficient in a shared workplace, and had forgotten this. I'm used to my own pace, these days, and my own pace varies so much. Sometimes I'm placid and almost lazy, and sometimes I finish 2,000 words an hour. When I share workplaces, my writing isn't as fast but I am focussed and driven and get through everything else.

And in other news.. there's probably heaps, but I'm more worried about catching up with that lost time.

And this was my tea break. Time to tackle Chapter Two!
