a very excellent day

It has been a very excellent day. I had 3100 words written by 11am (O How I Love The Getting Up Early, Even If The Actual Getting Up Part Kind of Blows), and I can tell I’m really getting back into the writing groove because I don’t want to play solitaire anymore. Instead, now, when I’m not sure what’s happening next, I just zone out, which is really a lot better than playing solitaire. :) I’m also getting down the knack of writing some notes when I finish up the stuff I’m writing, so I have a clear idea of where to go next, and that seems to be working well. Most excellent.

Chanti and I went on a rather short 2 mile walk this morning, and then this evening I went on a regular-length 2.5 mile walk because it was such an absolutely beautiful evening. But between those things, I lunched and wrote another 1200 words, so overall it proved to be a really excellent writing day.

This evening, as a reward for my walking and writing diligence, I watched an episode of Highlander. I was going to watch two, but by the time I’d watched one and its extras, the sleepies were encroaching, so I decided a journal entry and a nap were in order. The sort of nap that lasts until morning. :)

Then I topped the day off with a glass of chocolate milk. *happy sigh* Life, my friends, is good.
