And yet, toes are on the ground all the time and I bet they're all stringy, without much meat on them. Just sayin'.
Yeah, I had this thought. My reasoning was exactly that if I were going to eat a body part, it should probably be the least necessary (and toes are definitely the least necessary body part for writing!), but then, if you're going to go through all the hassle of self-mutilation, it's probably worth having a vaguely decent piece of meet at the end of it... Maybe I should go for a leg instead?
Anyway, thanks for the luck! I think the 20K will come, the only problem will be whether it's the right 20K, since on this story I have already written the first 8000 words at least twice more than I should have done, and I don't entirely know how the mood is going to play out over the rest of it yet, nor whether my word estimate will be accurate, rather than an underestimate if I'm going to actually get the story balanced, but who knows...
