It's been a fairly productive day - not so much as yesterday, but it definitely feels like I haven't had a moment's procrastination, but for that cheeky half-hour before I nipped to the Job Centre. People have been phoning stories in faster than I can write them; my to-do list is insanely long now and it's looking like I'd do myself a favour to bring something home with me to clear my workload up a bit. The last thing I want is to have more and more work piling up as time goes on - I can barely cope as it is.

Right. If I come back tomorrow with my to-do list at least halved, with all stories on there written as much as they can be from home (i.e. without contacting people by phone or getting photos sorted out), then I'll be happy. I'll do what I can at home tonight, and tomorrow will be dedicated to finishing off.

Thursday will be a 'finishing off' day as well, actually. Since we're on deadline today, it's unlikely that anything I finish tomorrow will go in this week. I just hope that the piling-on of work will ease off over the next few days.
