Wow. There’s less than 24 hours remaining until the 24 hour read-a-thon begins. Is it normal to be nervous? I haven’t yet stocked up on my 5 Hour Energy drinks. (Mental note: Must get 5 hr energy.)
You guessed it, I’m gungho about doing the full 24 hour thing because, due to some bad scheduling on my part, I won’t be able to read for about a 6 hour chunk of the day. That’s one entire full length novel right there and I must make up for it.
OMG, I haven’t even scheduled in time for eating or bathroom breaks…must stop and take breath.
I just went back and re-read what I wrote and I think I’m a bit neurotic about this thing. Am I the only one? I can’t be the only one.

Thanks for the pep talk guys!
I just got home (it was a longer chunk of time than I realized) and I’m about to hunker down and go the distance. I’m already on page 10 of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society…
