Wordcount: 8577

Finally above the pace line! Thursday (during Uni semester) is my “late shift” day, where I stick around until 7pm just in case people have problems. Today, that meant writing, and I managed to get a bit over 900 words written before heading home for the day, which helped. As is often the case, I ended up with a very slow start to the writing at home, combined with a lot of procrastination. After a few false starts, and swearing at myself on twitter, I ended up putting on a burst at the end, pulling out about 1000 words in half an hour to take me over the 8333 target and the 2000 wordcount for the day.
