progress!

The fact that I feel very little remorse about abandoning my medical studies for an entire evening in order to write, regardless of exams and stress and the voice in my head yelling This Is Your CAREER, probably says something about my priorities.

But I'm surprisingly okay with that :) At least for now.

Things I am less okay with: the fact that the heist AU has almost reached 19,000 words, and I am currently working on chapter THREE of NINE. Even taking into consideration the fact that 3,000 of those words belong to later chapters...this thing is going to be monstrous. (I am one scene away from Arthur's first appearance in the fic! Finally.)

Remember when I thought Groundhog Gay was long? Hahahaha. OH INNOCENCE. Though in all fairness to me, I did write that one in a little over a week, and this one is shaping up to take a little under a YEAR.

Re: study schedules, allow me to present you with three quotes I finally had to print out and hang on my wall:

The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.
--Sidney J. Harris

What is without periods of rest will not endure.
--Ovid

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.
--Sir John Lubbock

Don't beat yourself up, hon. A mental break is a period of rejuvenation, and will keep you going far longer/better for the duration than burnout will.

Those are excellent; methinks I should print them out myself! Thanks :)
