So I'm still phenominally slow, but I think I'm getting better. I think it's frustration more than anything that's got me starting to forget about quality and just write, but I'll take what I can get for now. I'm still hitting a few stumbling blocks like "Oh my god, this is the most boring beginning of a book ever" and "Why is my main character reverting to spoiled brat territory? I thought I worked him through all that!" But I'm mostly still writing set up, so I figure once I get to the real meat and potatoes of the book it'll get better. Hopefully, if all goes as I'm trying to manage, I'll be through the set up phase by tomorrow's write in...
