So just how long have I got to do this in then?

I suppose this is a question I should ask - just to put things into perspective if nothing else (perhaps it will scare me into a frenzy of writing activity - oh yeh I'm sure we're all looking forward to getting blown over by the gale force generated by that activity!).
Well checkign the old trusty pocket diary it conveniently tells me how many days have gone by in the year and how many are left. taking tomorrow as the start - it is 11:45pm now so that would seem fair, there are 280 days left in 2008. Of course this being a leap year, if I'd done this last month I would have had an extra day to do it in!
Anyhow, 280 days, loads of time. Thats 40 weeks! Blimey I could get pregnant and have a baby in that time - well my appropriate female partner could anyway with the right biology and timing and everything, but heyho, I'm not after a baby, I'm after something published, a piece of writing offspring as you may have it. And 40 weeks is a ton of time (that sounds like procrastination is trying to sneak its way in there!).
Thinking about it, when I started this blog 3 days ago I had 283 days - I suppose I'd better make a start on the work. Next time I'll decide what to start writing -or at least what I am going to concentrate on first!
