    OMG! :(

    At the end of a day's writing, I always highlight everything I have written that day so I can see what the wordcount for that section is. I had a really good day on Friday and knocked out about 5k words.

    I had to take a break over the weekend and just came back to the doc to find that the entire two chapters are missing from Friday. All the other edits I made that day, including the name of the following chapter, are still there - but the stuff I highlighted after my writing on Friday is just... gone.

    I think I must have hit a letter between highlighting the text and saving. Now instead of being 4k down for not writing at the weekend, I'm 9k down instead.

    Argh! Thank god the last two days of this thing are the weekend so I might stand a chance to catch up, but man I'm hurting right now! :(

    It's a great feeling, isn't it? I finished too, for the second year trying. Though I think I might well give it a miss next year, it's going to seriously affect my exam results...:o

    wahey, congratulations to you both.. 2 in a row is mightily impressive Lemon.

    yeah it's a wild old ride alright, although i did find myself doing more on weekdays after work than i did on any of the weekends (apart from the last one) which i thought was weird. Usually i always use being tired after work as an excuse to not do anything, guess i blew that one out of the water.

    until next year brave soldiers!!

    Well done to everyone who finished. I gave up like the weakling I am. (And because I had far more important work to do. And because I was only 3000 words in after two weeks.)

    But I'll definitely try again next year.
