"The time of day I do not tell,
As some do, by the clock,
Or by the distant chiming bells
Set on some steeple rock,
But by the progress that I see
In what I have to do.
It's either Done O'Clock to me,
Or only Half-Past Through."
~ John Kendrick Bangs
For all my NaNoing writer friends!
And for the rest of us:
meeting deadlines,
racing revisions,
hurrying to critique,
and
wishing for "The End"
P.S. I just finished reading TANGLED TIDES, and O-M-G was it good! Sooooo freaking good!!!!
I think I shall adopt these phrases - and isn't that an awesome clock? :-)

ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about NaNoers! I haven't done NaNo since 2009, so it slipped my mind. Good luck to all those chugging away. Halfway through already!
