sometimes i have no sense of proportion ...

... and sometimes, i only wish i had no sense of proportion.

hey, claire! remember when you were super-proud of yourself for getting 3000 words done on your novel back in november?

sure do, claire! that was great! i'm still pretty tickled about it.

well, claire, look at the word count on this word doc of session notes for the rpg you and the gang have been playing: 38,000 words!

oh. well ... we've been playing that for more than a month, right? so they're not really comparable ...

a month and a half, claire!

okay then, i guess there's only one thing to do ...

knuckle down and try to be that productive on your book, claire?

no, doofus! be 10 times as proud of myself for posting almost 40,000 words of a gaming story!

that's the obvious solution, right everybody? please back me up on this.

In life, you learn to take your wins wherever you can get them. *nods*
A top-notch job, I'd say, Ms Worthy!

thanks, dc!

there are actually a pretty good number of wins out there, i think. people just need to try to keep that whole sense of proportion thing whenever they can.

happy new year! i hope it's a great one for us all!
