Word count: 13,805.

Worst word count increase so far, but with everything else I’ve been doing today, it’s a surprise that I got anything done at all.

Today saw me up early in the morning to catch a flight to Sydney. We were heading up there to surprise a friend who was having 30th birthday drinks but who didn’t think we were coming. We got to Sydney, checked into our hotel, went out an hour later to catch up with another friend, then back to the hotel to get ready to to out to the party.

The day didn’t offer much opportunity to write, so considering that, I was actually very happy with a word count of 800. It was just a few hundred words here and there – sitting at the airport waiting for the plane to board, and while waiting at the hotel before going out – but I think the lesson to learn from this is that I can still be relatively productive if I use the time I have available to me wisely.
