Why am I wasting my time like this #2

I should be writing my novel, so why am I working on a Vic and Bob mood theme?

I've been working on m'novel!

No, honest! I have! My wordage is a bit pathetic owing to having to do Sudden Unexpected Research into police procedure after arrest on a murder charge. Hey ho - all too tedious to write up in detail. A lot of glossing-over has been done, a lot of 'here's our news in brief' conversations have been written. :o) I finished the chapter - that's enough for a Sunday, surely? I don't much feel like starting a new and deeply involved one intro'ing a major character for the first time.

But look! The Zokutu word meter is back! Now I can see how incredibly poor my output has been this past 3 weeks!

19,244 / 200,000 (9.6%)

Ick.

Fic's doing a little better.

74,809 / 142,000 (52.7%)

Time for a break, methinks. The mood theme is a calling...

note to self: stop spamming LJ.

I know. I know...

But I just have to pass this on (and I hope he wont mind but I've purloined this from davidbrider , all credit be unto him)
