\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Great,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d thought the lonely mug tree, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153just when I thought I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d got the measure of this kitchen, they go and mess it all up again.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
He paused.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Fuck,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he added, to make sure that anyone reading his thoughts would garner the impression that he was mature enough to know how to swear, but not hoity toity enough not to. Plus, he wanted to court controversy, and secretly wanted his thoughts to be banned.<\/p>\n
Just then, a very heavy lorry trundled down the small residential cul-de-sac, rattling the windows and agitating the neighbourhood pussycats. The mug tree was startled by the event, and found himself bounced millimetrewise closer to the edge of the formica.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oo-er\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he observed. Though he needn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have worried, for it would have taken dozens more lorries to push him close enough to the precipice for falling to be a possibility. This was almost certainly not going to happen. Or…<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a poorly written piece of software on the other side of the world was busy trying to convert a novelist\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s artistic use of punctuation into bullet points. The novelist, at this point, did the worst thing that he could have conceivably done in this situation, which was to select \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Word Count\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tools\u00e2\u20ac\u009d menu. This revealed that he wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even fractionally close to the 1,667 words that he would need to produce daily.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Fuck this for a boatload of hamsters,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he typed, and abandoned [NaNoWriMo][], never to return. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dumbest fucking idea I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve ever had,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he continued, briefly entertaining the notion that if he swore enough, perhaps he could pad this baby out for a little while longer.<\/p>\n

He checked the word count again. Hmmmm… a creative solution is called for.<\/p>\n
