I broke an honest 3000 words tonight, out of a max of 7500. I have my next few bits pretty well planned out. Then I can go into the archaeology, then look at pirates and so forth. I don't think I am as low on material as I worried I was. I am happy with my intro bits, and I am just hoping that i can remain so. I wish I had some more varied sources for the navy stuff, but really, someone compiled a bunch of really excellent sources and then dumped them in my lap in one gigantor awesome book, and I shouldn't really discount that... I just need to decide if I should count each excerpt from a primary source as an individual source (Smith, John. 1799. "Stuff About the Navy." In Z. Whatsisnutz (ed), Big Book of Navy Crap, 1998. Place: Publisher.) It isn't always clear who the authors are, or how i would even cite them, just because they are kind of weird documents. I'll think about it.

Anyway, ideally I need to write a little over 1100 words a day to meet the max by Sunday night. I did that today, and I only started writing around 7 and took a few decently long breaks, so it should be doable. As long as I don't get hung up on having to do new research...

Alright, bed time -_-
