2000-ish words on the same thing? That sounds like useful writing to me!

And hmmm, Yuletide procrastination. I didn't have that problem last year -- I was so freaked out about the deadline, I worked on it from day one. It's good that you know exactly what you want to write, but not so good that you seem unmotivated to start. But you're a very productive writer, so I'm sure that once you get to it, you'll crank it out very quickly!
