Well since I live in Denmark, 11,000 means 11, so I just wanted to be sure I remember correctly about the way you do in the US ;) And how long it takes to write the words have no real connection to how good it is.

Sometimes you just have to write. You can always dump it all later if you're not satisfied, that's the beauty of writing :P Specially on a computer where all you have to do is press delete ;)
