Turbo-writing switch

[tamaranth]

This little switch on the side of the laptop -- the one labelled 'wireless' -- is clearly a turbo switch for Nano-writing. With the switch set to 'off' I have written nearly 5K today, as well as having my first lie-in for months and slothing around on the floor with Ozymandias.

Which means I still have ~45K to write (yes, yes, very slow to get going) but I am confident.

While the interweb is an excellent writing-aid*, it keeps turning into a writing-replacement.

*notes-to-self I am about to answer include:
- tidal flooding in Essex 1940-1945
- car models and relative costs, 1946
- dates of tracks on this Django Reinhardt Greatest Hits compilation
- how to build your own quantum mirror with 1940s technology (what? everything is on the interweb, isn't it?
- oh, and where my copy of National Velvet might be, and whether I can acquire one easily if mine is in a random box in Sawston.

Well done: I am most impressed. I, of course, am stuck again. Book hates me...

also stuck again. But am going to have calming bath and some food and just fiddle, and if the word count goes up then YAY.
(Suspect it wouldn't have been 5K if I'd been writing linearly, but with yWriter I've found it easy to add little fragments to many scenes. One day I shall have to draw them all together, but that day is not now. It is November 30th. In the evening.)
