Done O'Clock or Half-Past Through?

"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!!!!
