[Neale Morison]

This is a short story, around 6700 words.

At first I was trying to avoid writing in first person present tense, 
then I thought I'd write in first person but it wouldn't be and past 
tense as if it's present. I find the result ... interesting.

I managed to average 520 words a day from the day I started until I 
finished, but there were two days I did nothing and one day I went 
negative because I did a big edit. It's not all about the number of 
words per day, but I find it really helps to try to hit at target. If 
you don't the little doubts and annoying distractions such as family, 
job and responsibilities (read cats, Antony) will get you for sure.
