Eep.

So, my little spare time has been consumed by cardio and weight training. I'm well on my way to my weight-loss goals, but I...um...haven't started my novel yet.

What is the farthest you veterans have gotten behind and still won? I could use some pep talky-ness.

Well I don't remember how it went for me back when I won in 2003, but I do know that if it really comes down to it, I can turn out between 8k and 10k in one (non-showering, non-school-going, tv-dinner-eating, very painful) day. That varies from person to person of course, but I think most people can make up a couple thousand words a day if that deadline really starts looming.

Being behind won't kill your chances, I promise. Just keep digging!
