1,700 words today.
I might not be able to keep that up as I also needed two doses of paracetamol today aswell.
My tea intake has been a bit OTT - I might need Husband to send an emergency package of tea from Bangkok!
Rewarded myself with Bridget Jones' Diary. All that talk of Colin Phwoarth and Hugh Grant, well, what can you expect?
Can't post on my laptop. I'm hoping my trusty Blackberry won't let me down.

About Me
- Jenny Beattie
- I moved with my family to Bangkok in July 2005. What do I do? I make hats and costumes; I’ve written articles, a novel and a non-fiction book is underway… I've held a variety of volunteer positions within the expat community. Tea stains is where I write and illustrate the things that consume me: life in Thailand, shop windows, books, cats, making, hats, fascinators, tea and the colour orange.
What am I reading in 2016?
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon
The Year of Taking Chances by Lucy Diamond
Mr Phillips by John Lanchester
Waiting for Sunrise by William Boyd
The Ice Twins by SK Tremayne

Bloody HELL that's amazing!!! Really, very well done. Do try to keep it up - OK maybe not quite that high a word count EVERY day, but if you can manage 1000 words/day minimum (and it seems that you can, my dear) you'll get such a lot done while you're in Koh Chang, you'll feel a huge sense of achievement.
Great start JJ! Keep it up ... or as near as dammit. Are you writing outside or is it too ho? Just curious.
Hope the tea supplies get through:-)
That's a lot of words, JJ. Keep on going! :-)
I lost my comment somewhere, but it was congratulating you on your great word count and your ability to use a blackberry. I don't even know what one looks like.
That's amazing JJ! Congratulations. And Bridget Jones' Diary - sounds like you're having both a successful and wonderful holiday.
Woo hoo, well done, JJ! I think I need to have a day like that in order to reward myself with a little Bridget Jones as well. ;)
Good luck with the tea!
That's great, JJ.
Well, the word count bit - not the paracetamel bit.
Hope you 'earn' a good reward tomorrow and all your tomorrows while you're there.
You go girl!!! That's a fantastic achievement...especially since I know how much you toil to get every word right first time!!!
Keep this up and you'll have the novel done in next to no time :-)

You see? You really can do it!
No wonder you had to resort to drugs - I'd need to lie down in a dark room in I wrote that many words in one go right now!
Erm, also watched BJ'sD yesterday - having decided to decide if it were just Darcy thing. Course it still could be just a Darcy thing, but it's beginning to look seriously like a deep-seated need to watch Colin Firth be rude to people.
Sigh.
Love Bridget. Keep it for when I'm alone and want to indulge myself totally without 'certain people' who just don't get it raining on my fun.
