eaaaarly

It is not yet 7:30am, and I have gotten nearly 1100 words written. The only bad thing about this is the getting up at 5:30 part. :) 1800 words yesterday; not quite as many as I wanted, but not bad. I did break the 20K mark on this book, which is sassisfying. Expect to hit 100 pages today. I have reached a part of the story where Jo sits down at her computer to research something, so I get to sit down at my computer to research it, too. :)

Let’s see. We had Emily all weekend, which was wonderous nice. We garage saled to a fair degree of success, saw Serenity twice, I finished a Very Large book proposal and sent it off, and last night Ted and I watched the last two episodes of Dark Angel. I’m torn over whether I wish there’d been a third season. On the one hand, they pulled 2nd season together so nicely that yeah, I wish there had been. On the other, the show did a fair job of wrapping up in one way, and while *enormous* amounts were left unresolved, I think I almost like the open-endedness better than I’d like seeing what happened. I can’t be sure they’d have done it right (they so often don’t), and leaving it open is so much better than doing it wrong. I did have very vivid interesting Dark Angel dreams last night, though. They’re writing DA books. That’d be fun to do. :)

*LAUGH* My sister just sent me a link for Seven Habits of Highly Successful People.

I’ve been getting fan mail this week. That’s very nifty. :) Two people (this week) have asked about the bit in URBAN SHAMAN where Jo hits on the idea of starting with “one true thing”, because it sounds like a quote but they weren’t able to find it on the net. They can’t find it because Jo doesn’t remember it quite right; it’s a Hemingway quote, about writers needing to start with one true sentence, the truest sentence they can write.

*yawn* And speaking of writing, better do my research and get back to work, for the great sleepies are encroaching upon me and it is best to get the work done before they win.
