I actually just wrote a paragraph.

I have to finish this novel! I just have to, even if it gets done a paragraph at a time. I have never started a novel and not finished it.

I think the sane writing and the insane writing is pretty much the same. Just one was a lot more fun to write and the other not so much.

Though admittedly, I wrote a sane novel and an insane novel before, and my husband told me that the sane one was a lot better. When insane I tend to go all over the place and produce too much because I'm not as focused, so afterwards I have to take a machete to it.
