desperately typing

Season 3 of Desperate Housewives started last week, which means summer vacation is officially over. My recap for the premiere episode came in at a crushing 9,101 words and took twelve hours to complete. Twelve hours, and even then I had to send it in riddled (I’m sure) with typos because I ran out of time — elephantine thanks to editor Derek cleaning up my mess!

My personal goal for this season is to get these things down to around the eight-hour mark, which is about how much time it takes other recappers I’ve polled. Because twelve hours! Twelve hours of rewinding and watching and rewinding and watching this show, which is not the best show, it is just chi-crushing.
