I have discovered a new way to make writing less onerous. If one closes one’s eyes while one types, one becomes less concerned about the page count because one can’t see it. This does, mind you, require a pretty flawless ability to touch-type, but that’s one of my L33T SK1LZ, so it’s working out for me. I am not writing fast–the book won’t be finished tomorrow–but I’m doing a chapter a day, which is enough. I’m also spending way too much time going “well if I wrote 3500 words a…

*all* the tv
Amazon hath delivered unto us its temptations, and now we have *all* the TV to watch. And I haven’t even finished re-watching season 4 Doctor Who! Ok, I have not pushed myself as hard in the writing as I might have done. I finished a chapter and have started another, but I had to stop to find out what Pinocchio’s father’s name was (I knew it wasn’t Gestapo) and now I think I’m going to actually go ahead and finish the AAs and possibly go so far as to start…

lovely evening
Somehow the book has nearly caught up to my YTD wordcount again. That’s kind of weird. Anyway, I realized today I may have as few as 4 chapters left, which would be sort of awesome. No, actually, who am I kidding, it would be totally made of awesome. I could have as many as six or seven, but four or five is seeming pretty likely. *fingers crossed* We had a lovely evening here at the Murphy-Lee household. My uncle and cousin are over visiting, so Ted made an apple &…
boring thinks to do
– utterly fail to exercise due to stiff and soreness – write. again, 2 chapters, ideally one will do. – work on AAs – get together pages & byline & photo for interview thing – color notes – magical words posting My motivation is shaky today, probably because of the stiff and soreness. Someday when I’m rich I’m going to fly to Colorado and pay Erica to give me massages every day for two weeks straight. Possibly at the end of that my shoulders would no longer be rock solid…
