Word count: 2,940 words.

It's a shame that work completed on the Evil!Microsoft paper can't be added to the word count. There are at least 1000 words there which are more coherent than the 2,940 above. I'm starting to get rapidly frightened about the prospect of writing a novel in a month - I'm seriously buying into the "No Plot, No Problem" credo. Scary, scary. Kudos to Sara and Jemima for being so incredibly diligent.
